Meal ‘Time’ Hack STOPS Type 2 Diabetes? (Simple)

When it comes to type 2 diabetes, it seems like every meal is a constant struggle that comes with a laundry list of ‘what ifs.’
What if this meal isn’t blood-sugar friendly?
What if I eat too late – or too early? Will my blood sugar spike?
And while eating and type 2 diabetes will always go hand-and-hand, it doesn’t mean that your daily meals need to a burden.
That’s because researchers have unlocked a meal ‘time’ hack that when done correctly can potentially STOP the risk of type 2 diabetes.
And get this? You can start doing it TODAY!
According to a new study out of Massachusetts General Hospital, eating dinner too close to bedtime can significantly elevate the risk of type 2 diabetes.
How, exactly?
It turns out that when your melatonin levels (your sleep hormone) are high – which happens right before bedtime – it can disrupt blood sugar control.
The study also noted that this is especially problematic in individuals with a genetic variant in the melatonin receptor MTNR1B – which has been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

In other words, eating too late in the evening can cause issues with your blood sugar – especially if you’re already genetically predisposed to a risk of diabetes.
So how can you avoid eating too late… and potentially avoid issues with your blood sugar?
The best thing you can do is to be as consistent as possible with your dinner times. While not always possible, sticking to a set time for dinner each night is the best way to avoid eating too late in the day.
If you struggle with sticking to consistent eating times (especially at night) … consider intermittent fasting.
Intermittent fasting is where you eat all your meals within a 6-to-8-hour window each day. For example, you could eat your first meal of the day at 11 a.m. and your ‘final’ meal (aka dinner) at 6 p.m.
This will ensure you’re getting plenty of vitamins and minerals (and calories) WITHOUT sacrificing taste… or worrying that you’re eating too close to bed.
Studies have found that intermittent fasting can improve insulin sensitivity and make your body use stored calories and sugar for energy – which also helps reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.
