I eat two meals a day. I always have a bedtime snack. And if my dinner
will be much delayed beyond say 6:00, then I will have a small snack in the
afternoon.

I also have gastroparesis caused by diabetes. That's delayed stomach
emptying. So for me, I must take care not to overload my stomach. I also
must go easy on the fiber and hard to digest cuts of meat like steak. I
also find that I can not eat the olives from olives bars. I think they have
too much fat in them or something. Regular black or green canned and jarred
olives are fine as are Kalamatta. I can perhaps eat two or three from an
olive bar. Any more than that and they come back up undigested. Ditto for
the other things I mentioned.

We're all different. There is no one diet that works for all diabetics.
