Did I fast too long?

Hey girls -

So last night I didn't eat an evening snack after dinner and woke up around 3am pretty hungry but I was SO freakin tired that I just went back to sleep. This morning my fasting number was normal but then after my breakfast (about 30grams of carbs and the same thing as I've eaten for 3 days now) and my number was up... not quite over but REALLY close.

I'm wondering - can fasting too long mess up your numbers? If so... should I have grabbed something at 3am or just make a point to eat that evening snack even if my dinner was sort of late and I'm not hungry?!

    My nutritionist said that yes, it is possible to fast too long.  She said to aim for no longer than 10-12 hours.  Otherwise your body may go into "starvation mode" and may affect your numbers.
