[QUOTE="Ruth B, post: 829609, member: 111960"] I find I am best if I can make sure that the gap between meals is between 3 and 5 hours, so to eat at 7.30 I would need to be have lunch at about 3.30 ish. Less than 3 hours and my BS won't have dropped to my normal pre meal level, more than 5 hours and I start to drop too much and my liver seem overly enthusiastic in dumping glucose into my blood stream which also puts my pre meal level higher than I would like. If I know I will have to go more than 5 hours between eating I try and have a low carb snack, something containing about 5 - 10g of carbs as this seems to be enough to hold my BS stable and prevent a liver dump.
