Try to eat your first meal within one and a half hours of getting up in the morning. Other meals can be eaten about every four to six hours after that. Legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) can be good allies for maintaining your blood glucose level between meals. If you aren’t taking diabetes medications or insulin, how often you eat and when you eat are matters of personal preference, as long as you eat healthy foods in reasonable quantities. The important thing is what works for you. Some people love a hearty breakfast, but others have a limited appetite after waking and a light breakfast works best for them. What seems to be most important is maintaining consistency from day to day.
