Hi. My mother is diagnosed with a type 2 diabetes sometime ago.


This morning, she was referred to see a dietician by the physician after she suddenly felt dizziness and nausea after undergoing blood test in the hospital. Although she had been diagnosed with diabetes, control is mainly through drugs alone. Her habit is to eat little, but to eat often.


I myself also thought that spacing meals is good, as it prevents sudden rise in blood glucose levels, and helps to maintain the blood glucose levels relatively constant.


However, the dietician said she should eat 3 relatively heavy meals at the same time everyday. I wasn't there to listen to the dietician (i'm overseas, far away from my mum), but my mum says that the dietician roughly referred to that eating 3 meals allow the blood glucose levels to fall. Didn't really get what the dietician means.


Could anyone please enlighten me on this matter? Thank you.
