Believe me, Penney, that theory's been tested and tested a LOT!!
It might seem like not eating is the way to get good low blood sugar, but exactly the opposite is what actually happens. The thing that happens if you don't eat after you get up in the morning, is that your liver begins to notice there's no food coming along, and it converts its stores of glycogen into glucose and begins dripping it into your bloodstream, sending your bs higher and higher.
The information gained by testing before you eat and again two hours later, is that those numbers should be fairly close. It does NOT mean that your bs didn't change during that time - it only means that your body processed the meal well enough that your bs came back down within two hours. If it didn't come back down, you need to reconsider whatever it was you ate, and possibly not eat it again for awhile.
And as regards our blood sugar - something always happens. If we eat, it goes up - either a little or a lot. Fat is the only thing we can eat that doesn't raise blood sugar; protein raises it some, and carbohydrates raise it a lot.
