Home World Fake coffee, too little protein: Diabetes expert explains the most common breakfast mistakes state: 13.08.2026, 13:08 Comments We follow on Google Diabetes expert Toby Smithson consistently avoids certain breakfast habits – and explains what really ensures stable blood sugar and energy. After more than 50 years with type 1 diabetes, Toby Smithson, senior manager of nutrition and wellness at the American Diabetes Association, tells Newsweek that she consistently avoids several breakfast habits. This makes healthy eating in the morning more realistic even in hectic everyday life.
Furthermore, Even drinks marketed as “natural” are not automatically unproblematic. “Even though these are perceived as more natural options, they still provide carbohydrates and calories and can affect blood sugar levels similarly to other added sugars,” Smithson says. Many people assume that skipping a meal helps them absorb fewer calories, but she says this can have unintended consequences for blood sugar control and feelings of hunger later in the day. Why skipping breakfast can be problematic One of the biggest sources of error Smithson observes is skipping breakfast altogether.
In addition, Blood sugar spikes are a normal part of eating, but meals with many refined carbohydrates and little protein or fiber can cause glucose levels to rise and fall faster. Foods such as eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and tofu go well with fiber-rich carbohydrates to increase satisfaction and resist the temptation to reach for snacks before lunch. “A breakfast that contains both protein and fiber can provide more sustainable energy throughout the morning,” says Smithson.
