Breakfast have been describe as the most important meal but Missing breakfast could raises your risk of developing diabetes.

Study leader Dr Sabrina Schlesinger, of the German Diabetes Centre in Düsseldorf, said 30 per cent of people around the world are thought to miss breakfast.
Ironically, those who are overweight are more likely to miss their morning meal, because they incorrectly believe this will reduce their overall calorie intake.

Scientists initially feared this may have skewed the results, because overweight people are far more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. The estimated prevalence of diabetes in Africa is 1% in rural areas, and ranges from 5% to 7% in urban sub-Saharan Africa.

There were 1.702.900 cases of diabetes in Nigeria in 2015.

But the team found that even when they took body mass into account, people of any weight were still 22 per cent more likely to develop diabetes if they missed out on breakfast.

Dr Schlesinger, whose findings are published in the Journal of Nutrition, said: ‘We believe people who miss breakfast have more snacks during the day and eat more calories overall.

‘They also might have a big lunch – and that creates a big glucose and insulin spike, which is not good for the metabolism and increases type 2 diabetes risk.’
She stressed that a breakfast high in wholegrains and cereals and low in red meat and sugar was the most likely to ward off the condition.
