Let’s talk diabetes | How late night eating affects blood sugar

🍽️ Late-Night Eating & Morning Sugar Spikes — Here’s the Truth!

❌ Slower sugar processing
❌ Higher carb absorption
❌ Morning glucose spikes
❌ Harder long-term diabetes control

What you can do:
✔️ Shift to early dinners
✔️ Choose lighter meals with more protein & fiber
✔️ Keep portions small
✔️ Avoid late snacking
