Very true, and the other question would be is the breakfast recommendation based on the assumption that medication is involved? Certain medications combined with a period of time with no food can result in hypoglycemia. I'm not sure about the statement that beta cells "forget their function." Particularly with recent findings that pancreatic fat hinders the function of beta cells (see Fung's latest blog post). |
