Q. My blood sugar sky-rockets in the morning. Shouldn't I skip breakfast to bring it down?
A. For some people with diabetes, blood sugar tends to be high in the morning because as dawn approaches, the body starts releasing energizing hormones. These antagonize the action of insulin and stimulate the liver to produce more glucose, even if the glucose level in the blood is already abnormally high.
Will eating make it rise even higher? Probably, but because breakfast is so important for weight loss and proper nutrition, you should make eating breakfast a priority and find other ways to deal with the "dawn phenomenon."
