There’s more evidence to support the age-old saying of, “eat like a king in the morning, a prince for lunch and a pauper in the evening.” in the diabetes population. A recent study done in Israel found that, for patients with type 2 diabetes, a diet consisted of a high-energy breakfast, slightly lower energy lunch and a low energy dinner lowered glucose levels by 20% compared to a diet where breakfast and lunch were switched. The research also found better glucose tolerance overall with the benefit of metabolism regulation over the entire day following a higher-energy breakfast . This dietary adjustment may have the potential to help prevent the cardiovascular and other complications of type 2 diabetes.
