The Claim

In adults with type 2 diabetes, consuming a very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat breakfast does not lead to worsening of postprandial glucose levels after subsequent lunch or dinner meals, suggesting that glycemic benefits from breakfast modification are not counteracted by compensatory hyperglycemia later in the day.

Source: Restricting carbohydrates at breakfast is sufficient to reduce 24-hour exposure to postprandial hyperglycemia and improve glycemic variability.

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

If you have type 2 diabetes and eat a low-carb, high-fat breakfast, it won’t make your blood sugar spike higher later when you eat lunch or dinner — so the good effect of a healthy breakfast isn’t undone by your other meals.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Restricting carbohydrates at breakfast is sufficient to reduce 24-hour exposure to postprandial hyperglycemia and improve glycemic variability.

    Eating a low-carb, high-fat breakfast helped people with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar lower after breakfast—and it didn’t cause their blood sugar to spike higher at lunch or dinner. So, changing just breakfast can help without making other meals worse.
