[Diabetes-talk] High sugars in the wake of skipping a snack?

[Michael Park]

Hi there.

The explanation given to me by my diabetes counsellor regarding the 
higher sugars in the wake of skipping a meal or a snack is this: the 
body is expecting the food to arrive, and sugar is released in order to 
help facilitate the digestive process. Because the food does not arrive, 
that sugar remains in the blood stream, elevating blood sugar levels.
