I'm not diabetic but my husband and mother-in-law both are (Type II). Both will routinely go all day without eating anything. This doesn't seem healthy to me, but my MIL (who is a nurse) insists that it's perfectly fine because fasting keeps the blood sugar levels low.
It would seem to me that the sudden fluctuation you're going to get when you finally eat, late in the day, would be more detrimental than just eating moderate amounts throughout the day. Am I way off base?
