Cross-over study of eating snacks at different timing on glycemic excursions assessed by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in patients with and without type 2 diabetes - Cross-over study of eating snacks at different timing on glycemic excursions assessed by CGMS

This study demonstrated that consuming snacks at post-dinner affects the postprandial glucose levels even in the following post-breakfast. On the other hand, consuming snacks at mid-afternoon could be a successful strategy for reduction of glucose excursions in healthy women. Consuming snacks well separated from lunch may be an effective way to suppress postprandial glucose levels in both people with and without type 2 diabetes.
