  • Can I eat only fruits in the morning and skip breakfast?

    Yes, you can eat only fruits in the morning and skip a traditional breakfast if that works
    for you. Many people follow fruit-based diets or intermittent fasting, where they
    consume only certain foods during specific times.

    Benefits of Eating Fruits in the Morning:

    - Nutrient-Dense: Fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

    - Hydration: Many fruits have high water content, helping with hydration.

    - Easy Digestion: Fruits are generally easy to digest and can provide a quick source of
    energy.

    Considerations:

    - Balanced Nutrition: While fruits are healthy, they may not provide all the nutrients you
    need for a balanced diet. Consider including other food groups throughout the day.

    - Blood Sugar Levels: Eating only fruits might lead to spikes in blood sugar for some
    people. Pairing fruits with protein or healthy fats later in the day can help stabilize blood
    sugar levels.

    - Personal Preference: Some people may feel hungry or lack energy if they skip a more
    substantial breakfast.

    If you enjoy fruits and feel good eating them in the morning, it's perfectly fine! Just
    make sure to maintain a balanced diet throughout the day.

    Mike,

    consume only certain foods during specific times.

    I liked to order the mixed fruit cups...but the sugar can be
    a problem. I test my glucose first thing in the morning, and it
    has been running between 80 and 130. My A1C was 6.4 last December
    (type 2 diabetes threshold) and 5.8 in April. I'll have it checked
    again in late October, when I go in for my yearly wellness check,
    full physical, and flu shot.

    My PCP told me not to buy an expensive A1C check device (they
    are that), but to come into the clinic, and have it checked).

    It sounds like your A1C is definitely in check. Now if that check could be cashed, you'd
    be rich.

    My PCP told me not to buy an expensive A1C check device (they are that), but to come into the clinic, and have it checked).

    My PCP also recently mentioned that she thinks I'll only really need to have my A1C checked when I come in to the clinic to visit. Recently though, I got a flyer in the mail saying my insurance will pay for an A1C test device and unlimited test strips, so I thought why not, and I had them send one to me. It's free to me. :) I'd be curious to check my A1C at home and see how certain foods & things affect my A1C level.
