Okay so I started insulin on Tuesday afternoon. I must say that since I have I feel overall a little better then usual. More healthier and more energy. I have been told that I can have three meals and three snacks in between. I have an evening snack an hour or so before bed. At night time though, when I am trying to sleep....I feel very hungry. I am not sure what to do here. Is it okay to have a snack in the middle of the night. Sometimes I am so hungry I feel so empty and it is not pleasant. I feel like I am staring myself.Should I have a snack if I am hungry? I am worried it will make blood sugars higher despite taking insulin but I am so uncomfortable and hungry that I need something. I would eat like vegetables but they are hard on my stomach. Any suggestions here on what to do and what to eat?
The bedtime insulin last up to 18 hours, which is great but it does not mean I am any less hungry. Any advice or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.
