    Hi, I am on day 4 of the 8 week diet, and am trying to fast until 2-3pm each day, but i’ve noticed that my blood sugar seems to increase in between my morning reading and my reading just before lunch. Does anybody else experience this? Should I be eating sooner? I thought there were benefits to fasting, but my sugars seem to be telling me different. Any advice/comments would be appreciated. Thanks

    your body thinks you are starving so it is creating its own glucose, similar to the Dawn Effect but it occurs at this time because you are not eating anything until afternoon. Either accept it and don’t take too much notice of this reading or add a small snack mid morning to prevent the Effect.
