Little snooze until about half 6 / 7 then I wouldn't be hungry at all (as I was still digesting my meal) before I fall asleep around 1am
Next day, repeat. Made a huge difference to my readings - I'm still on metformin (because my one meal a day isn't always exactly healthy) but a HUGE improvement from when I was eating several small 'Healthy Meals' throughout the day - Sounds almost counter intuitive, but it DOES work  |
I also have Type 2 - been on Metformin and injections for half my life now. I asked my diabetes specialist and they said not to fast - so I'm conflicted. Usually up - light breakfast - no lunch - I do dinner at the house for whole family and stay away from snacks and pop. ( I still do coffee ). When I do snack is when my readings go up and I pay for it but it's very difficult that there is an internal struggle especially around holidays when everyone around the family is inviting us over and trays and trays of finger food and christmas snacks come out. Last week I gave my homemade receipe for chip dip to my neighbor and I know she'll make it and I'll want to eat it. Think it's time I shoot myself a hit higher to compensate - but thankfully I have the FreeStyle LibraLink 2 and it has an alarm if my readings go above 18 or below 4
