Hello Ann. Welcome 🙂

I've put you in your own welcome thread. 🙂

I know some Type2's find that a low carb or carb-free small snack can help their waking blood sugars. It may also help with your hunger.

Hopefully someone more experienced in this can offer you advice.

Welcome to the forums annmorris 🙂

I would try the snack in the evening. Low GI snacks can help as well - such as raw vegetables, some berries.

Welcome from me Annmorris! As yourself I`m recently diagnosed T2 and have good control with diet/exercise/metformin. The hunger is something that I deal with easily! If my levels allow it, I will have a small snack! Usually a marmite sandwich. The reason for the hunger I put down to losing weight, so not so bad!
