Message: <blockquote data-quote="HSSS" data-source="post: 2737493" data-attributes="member: 480869">Is there a reason you want to eat mid morning?   Hungry, everyone eating around you, habit or hypos?  The thing is each and every time we eat we raise blood glucose and insulin levels, and that ultimately more frequent high levels of both gradually add to insulin resistance (the fundamental problem almost all correctly diagnosed type 2 have). It’s widely experienced in here that eating fewer but decent filling meals less often is better long term than grazing constantly for this reason.  Hungry is easily solved with a breakfast or bigger/more filling choice think eggs a million ways, bacon, dinner left overs, meats and cheeses etc etc As you have a cgm it’s easy to see what works for you. It’s unlikely to be any cereal or oat based choice if it’s big enough to keep you full til lunchEveryone else eating is harder to cope with. Having the sort of snacks suggested by loving life helps damage limitation here. Croissants don’t surprise me. They are grains and grains (of any colour or type) rise a lot of us too much. The raspberries and bream are a much better choice imo.Habit again is trickier than hunger.  Distraction, change the routines around the food at that point in time or make swaps for a really nice coffee/tea perhaps instead of food. If the gliclazide is making you go low, thus you eat to avoid hypos, then talk to your nurse about checking the dose is right for you</blockquote>
