Everyone healthy is sightly insulin resistant in the morning. Cereal is not a good idea then. Actually, it's never a good idea.

- ethbro 10y agoDo you have any citations on morning insulin resistance? Even a starting point would be appreciated. If not, I can search myself. I'm curious, as I just recently switched from a cereal-heavy w/ coffee breakfast to a strictly-smoothie w/o coffee breakfast (likely high in simple sugars, but I try to blend in at least something dark green). Initial results seem positive.
- gukov 10y agoI have T1D and have firsthand knowledge of this. It's called the dawn phenomenon: certain hormones make the liver release glucose back into the bloodstream. I take extra insulin just to stay level. Now, while in a healthy person it's all taken care of automatically, I would still recommend not to compound things and give your pancreas a break.
