Meal timings – Does it play an important role….

I find that if you eat at your usual, then you should be fine. As long as you stick to a good diet, then you will be fine.

As for myself, I don’t have set times, for instance if I eat as regular as I am told I tend to eat later when it comes to my evening meal. Most of my meals are around five, but Sunday I will have my main dinner about two with a light snack early evening.

But each person is different. I have three family members who are diabetic and they all eat at random times.

All I can say is stick to what you are comfortable with. You will also have family/friends telling you different bits of advice and telling you to eat or have you been eating well.

If you are happy with the way things are as well as your doctor/nurse then don’t worry, I was told the stress/worry can cause your diabetes to fluctuate, but not sure if it is 100% true.

I am Type 2 & I eat when I feel hungry, but I have a friend who is also type 2 & she eats at set times, but if I did that, I would be eating when I am not always hungry.

So I think its what you feel is best for you, I am a big believer in listening to your body.

As you and Preeti have in effect both said you do not need to eat at set times I think I will stick with that i need flexibility for meal times as long as I eat healthy food and not too much of it!!

Can’t it at set timings. Also the 5 meals a day, if I keep eating when will I work! Lol
