Eating inbetween meals

[Carina1962]

If you have a snack inbetween meals, how long do you wait? is it normally 2 hours? ie if i want to eat a piece of fruit mid-morning or mid-afternoon, is it best to wait 2 hours? what would you do?

I was told to really spread my fruit out and not to go mad with it.
I was quite surprised at how much sugar is in fruit - i used to eat bucket loads before diagnosed! much better to have some though, rather than choc bar e,g

Hi every day i have my brekkie round about 8 and i will always have either a apple or banana at 10 then a slice of nutty bread around 12.SO yeah i always use 2 hours .

I think that wallycorker's approach is quite a good one, if you don't want to eat too much fruit in one go. A little bit and often may be a reasonable approach if you find that it spikes you too much.

Personally, though, I just have a banana with my porridge for breakfast. Two clementines after lunch and an apple (or sometimes two) after my main meal.

That seems to work fine for me.

thanks for that everyone, it's just that because i have limited test strips to use i have to choose my times to test (i do vary the times) and i can't afford to keep testing after everything i eat but if i safely wait a couple of hours between meals then at least i'm not keeping my levels constantly high by eating if you see what i mean 🙂
