Correlation of meal timing and interval with glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes

Abstract

[...]traditional eating habits with a good meal, timing, and interval should be ideal, and not skipping breakfast is very much important in maintaining glucose homeostasis. [...]traditional eating habits with a good meal and its timing and interval should be ideal, and not skipping breakfast is very much important in maintaining glucose homeostasis. RESULTS In this study, we observed that those individuals who had their breakfast, lunch, and dinner at an earlier time had good control of HbA1C when compared to those individuals who had their food at a very late time. [...]those individuals who had less time gap between the meals had good control of HbAlc when compared to individuals who had more time gap between the meals. DISCUSSION In this study, we were able to observe that eating at a very late time can reduce the control of diabetes and an increased time gap between every meal will reduce the effect of insulin on blood sugar and thereby decrease glycemic control.
