Missing morning meal, caffeine can cause insulin to function less efficiently. Hence blood sugars rise. Some other triggers which can rise blood sugar include stress, excess usage of artifical sweetners, loosing sleep, dehydration, some nasal sprays and dawn phenomenon (People have a surge in hormones early in the morning whether they have diabetes or not. For people with diabetes, blood sugar can spike).

My friend has been dealing with 3rd degree gynecomastia and really wants to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce it before considering an operation? He's feeling pretty self-conscious and just wants to explore all options first.

For 3rd degree gynecomastia, non-surgical options like lifestyle changes and medication are unlikely to fully resolve the condition, but they can help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the degree of enlargement before considering surgery. Focusing on weight loss, exercise, and addressing potential hormonal imbalances through lifestyle adjustments and, in some cases, medication, can be a good first step. However, surgery is often the most effective treatment for significant gynecomastia, especially at the 3rd degree level.
