However, briefly, here's what one of our diabetes dietitians says in very general terms.<BR/><BR/>"I will often recommend a bedtime snack to someone with type 2 diabetes if they take a sulphonylurea type of oral hypoglycaemic at night (to minimise the chance of overnight hypo) and/or if they suffer elevated fasting blood glucose. My favourite recommendation is a cup of low fat yoghurt (it’s high in the amino acid tryptophane which enhances sleep, besides being low GI carb, easy to eat etc.)"GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-78845578895091764202008-04-07T07:55:00.000+10:002008-04-07T07:55:00.000+10:00We have forwarded this to one of our GI Group diet...We have forwarded this to one of our GI Group dietitians and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Early after I was told about being Type 2, a dietician told me I need to have a bedtime snack. Problem is I cannot find anything that addresses what to eat, frequency etc. Can someone help?R & K Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174865455695527835noreply@blogger.com
