You don't have to have 3 meals a day - however if you are on blood glucose lowering meds (like insulin or gliclazide(or however its spelled)) you would need to adjust those meds.
I’m on forxiga.
I’ve been told to eat 3 meals a day.
Wondering if I’d go into a hypo if I didn’t eat
They'd probably be lower in the morning than usual.. I tend to only have 2 meals max per day no b/fast but no dinner is equally good.. Intermittent fasting its called and has good effects on blood glucose.but we have to eat 3 meals a day. If I went to bed tonight having not eaten since 2pm this evening what would happen to my blood sugars?

Can you hypo on it? If not then no reason why you need to be above 5 to drive surely?I’m on forxiga.

Cool thanks.
I’m a driving instructor so during the week I have to eat 3 meals to keep my levels nice abc balanced. Got to keep them over 5 to drive.
But at the weekend I really struggle with eating 3 meals.

After diagnosis I cut carbs out completely. No fruit only tiny bit of pitta occasionally. Sugars went down to 4 ish.
Apparently because of diabetes that means you are on dodgy ground of it goes below 5. So have to keep above 5.
Might not get hypos like a t1 but sugars can still dip.

Agreed, it's only applicable for people who are on meds which can induce hypos. Non diabetics can have bgs in the high 3s and still drive.The 5 to drive is all very well, but I bet there are thousands and thousands of people every day whose blood sugar isn't 5 as they sit behind the wheel of their vehicle. I mean, how would they know? Quite naturally, they never test.
