Diabetes patients, who tend to skip their breakfast, face risk of dangerous blood sugar spikes, and lose their sugar control .
Researchers have found, fasting until noon triggers major blood sugar spikes (postprandial hyperglycemia) and impairs the insulin responses of type-2 diabetics throughout the rest of the day .
According to researchers, pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin lose their memory due to the prolonged period between dinner and the next day's lunch. In other words, they forget their vital role. Therefore, it took additional time after lunch for the beta cells to recover, causing small and delayed insulin responses and resulting in an exaggerated elevation of blood glucose levels throughout the day .
