No... Never... Always advisable to go for small but frequent meal.... If there is a long gap then there will be hypoglycemia inbetween meal and hyperglycemia just after taking a meal.... This erratic sugar level leads to more complications in a Diabetic patient than a normal person
Next Steps
small but frequent meal
