Midnight snacking increased blood sugar levels in gestational diabetes
Overview
A recent study in the journal Diabetic Medicine has found that taking a bedtime snack slightly increases fasting blood sugar levels in women with diet-controlled gestational diabetes versus taking no bedtime snack.
In the study, Dorothy F. Graham, University of Western Australia, Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia, and colleagues set out to determine the effect of different bedtime snacks (higher carbohydrate versus lower carbohydrate versus no snack) on the first morning fasting blood glucose levels (BGLs) in women with diet-controlled gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and borderline fasting glucose levels.
