Sun News : Two large meals may be better for diabetes patients: Study: For years we've been told eating several smaller meals throughout the day is best, but a new study suggests eating a large breakfast and lunch is better for controlling weight and blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes.
The study involved 54 patients treated with oral diabetes medication. They were asked to follow one of two regimens of a restricted calorie diet -- each containing 500 calories less than the daily recommended amount.
One group ate six small meals while the other group had two large meals, breakfast and lunch. After 12 weeks, the groups switched.
Body weight decreased in both regimes, but liver fat content and fasting plasma glucose and C-peptide levels decreased more for those who ate the two large meals.
