Diabetes & Late Dinners


Question
My husband is Type II and we usually have dinner between 7:30-8:00pm, he also has about 2 beers and 2 glasses of red wine before and during dinner, then he doesn't want to move after dinner.  This is all followed by 9pm pistachio fest! He insist that his wild glucose levels (180 in the am) are due to the late dinner, I say horse pookie stop the excessive drinks in the form of sugar and cut the late night pistachio's.  Is there a relationship in the late dinner and the high levels in the morning?

Answer
Hello Suzi!

   Thank you for your nutrition question.  Alcohol can have a big effect on blood glucose levels.  I would recommend that he cut back to 1 glass of red wine a day instead.  However, nuts have a good effect on blood glucose levels because they contain "healthy" fat.
   Eating late dinners can have an affect in the morning so it is important to eat earlier.  It is also very important to eat the same time every day in order to get glucose levels under control.  

If he chooses to drink alcohol, limit the amount and have it with food.  Talk with your health care team about whether alcohol is safe for you.
