Specifically, post-meal hyperglycemic spikes are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. People with T2D often exhibit a different circadian pattern from healthy individuals, with higher glucose excursions in the morning, after breakfast. This makes breakfast a crucial meal in achieving glycemic control. One strategy to reduce or eliminate this high glucose excursion is to consume a low-carbohydrate breakfast.
