Skipping breakfast may seem like an easy way to shave off some calories, but not eating the most important meal of the day could have dire consequences for diabetics, according to new research from Tel Aviv University.
The study found that morning fasting can trigger dangerous blood sugar spikes that then impair the insulin response in type-2 diabetics for the rest of the day.
"We theorized that the omission of breakfast would not be healthy, but it was surprising to see such a high degree of deterioration of glucose metabolism only because the participants did not eat breakfast," said Prof. Daniela Jakubowicz, from the Wolfson Medical Center's Diabetes Unit in Holon, Israel.
