First, eat it
Even if your blood sugar is high in the morning, don’t skip breakfast. “People with diabetes have fluctuations in blood sugars that can be more stable when they spread their food throughout the day,” says Melissa Joy Dobbins, RD, a certified diabetes educator in Chicago, Illinois and a spokesperson for the American Association of Diabetes Educators. “Skipping meals such as breakfast can lead to overeating later in the day due to hunger and low blood sugar levels.” In fact, one study, published in a 2015 issue of Public Health Nutrition, found that adults with type 2 diabetes who ate breakfast noshed less throughout the day.
And a study of obese people with type 2 diabetes who take insulin, presented at the 2018 meeting of the Endocrine Society, found that following a meal plan that includes a high-calorie breakfast resulted in weight loss, improved diabetes, and decreases the need for insulin.
Aim to eat breakfast at the same time every day to help keep your blood sugar levels even throughout the day.
