Why Your Fasting Glucose Is Highest in the Morning (And What to Do About It Before Breakfast)

Dr. Terrence L. Vandiver

Terrence Vandiver, M.Div., D.M.D. For 17 years I did everything the system told me to do. Saw the specialists. Took the medications. Followed the protocols. And every 90 days I sat in a waiting room for 12 minutes and left with the same instruction: manage it. Then I stopped managing and started understanding — and my fasting glucose dropped from 185 to 85 in 10 days. No new medication. Same prescriptions. Different framework. I'm a Doctor of Dental Medicine and hold a Master of Divinity. I built The Blood Sugar S.H.I.F.T. because the coaching I needed didn't exist — real-time, personalized, available at 7am when the number on the monitor doesn't make sense and there's no one to call. Everything I write here is what I wish someone had told me years ago. This blog is for educational and wellness purposes only — not medical advice. Always consult your physician.
