Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Bedtime snack

What are possible bedtime snacks? I get very hungry in the late evening, especially close to bedtime. I think it is because I eat very small food portions for my meals.

Well, I would maybe readjust how much you eat for dinner vs eating a snack right before bed....

I usually do an apple, or couple grape (tho I have to share the apple with our doggies) or chobani yogart,

I do 1/2 Graham Cracker square and Peanut Butter, so I will have a little protein in my system.

The small portions are good.
Try eating the same thing for a week or so and measure the BG the next morn.
Then try something else, with either more or less carbs and continue with the research, as necessary.
As I "work" (moving, fixing, cleaning, moving again) I eat the super salad at 3 pm( the secong meal) and the third meal at 9 pm..
Then I crash.....fall asleep in front of the TV......not good, really....
I do hope that you can have the time and patience to do this "experiment".
The results may be most interesting....
Gayle, you have an apple eating dog ???
Dogs are wonderful family members.
