[quote=Anonymous]I suspect that people who skip breakfast tend to eat more calories in the evening, and eating late usually elevates your blood sugar for longer than the same meal would if you ate it at 9am or even 2pm.

So I discovered after wearing a CGM (just out of curiosity -- I'm not diabetic and I'm a normal BMI) for a few weeks. I'm rarely hungry until 1pm or so,  which meant that I was eating a meal in the early afternoon and then another around 8pm-9pm. Since my weight is stable and my A1C always looks great, I was pretty surprised to see how high my blood sugar went (and STAYED) from dinner into the early hours of the morning. Not diabetic levels, but ~110-125, not ideal when your last meal was hours ago!

I did a little experiment and if I stopped eating by dark, didn't matter what I'd eaten (even if it was an ice cream sundae) -- my blood sugar was back below 100 within a couple of hours, and stayed that way all night.

Sucks for those of us who aren't hungry in the mornings. But I try now to finish eating by 7pm or so.[/quote]
