[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1892156, member: 451727"] Hi Ni, I think you are saying that when you snack late in the night on something 'bad', your levels in the morning are lower than when you don't? I am no expert but I wonder if that is because when you are eating the high carb 'snacks', your body starts to (try) and produce insulin to cope or depending on your situation produces a normal amount. Maybe this insulin production has an effect right up until you get up, hence the lower levels first thing. Having said that, there is always a price to be paid, ie the rest of your day, weeks and months might mean your overall levels are higher than they would have been without the high carb snacks. I don't think it would be 'good practice' to do this overall though. What are your current levels like on average? [/QUOTE]
