[00:00:00]Do you wake up with high blood sugar levels that keep getting higher even if you skip breakfast? Here's what's going on and what you can do about it. Your morning blood sugar levels, also known as your fasting blood sugar, is mostly determined by what your liver does overnight.

It's literally coming from your liver dumping glucose into your bloodstream in the early morning hours.

It becomes blind to that signal of insulin that is telling it, "Hey, stop producing glucose. We have enough." But, your liver is insulin resistant. So, skipping breakfast is not going to fix the problem. As a matter of fact, you may continue to see your blood sugar go higher and higher because your liver is just dumping more and more glucose. I have good news and bad news.
