The hidden clock: How meal timing sabotages blood sugar — and what science says you can do about it

 Circadian rhythms dictate glucose metabolism — eating late disrupts insulin sensitivity, raising diabetes risk.

Genetics influence meal timing preferences, but shifting calories earlier in the day can still improve metabolic health.

Consistent meal schedules stabilize blood sugar, while irregular eating worsens insulin resistance.

Evening habits (alcohol, sedentary behavior, poor sleep) spike overnight glucose — small changes yield significant benefits.

Personalized experiments (tracking meals, blood sugar and timing) help optimize individual metabolic responses.

For decades, nutritional advice has fixated on what we eat — cut refined carbs, boost fiber, balance macros. But a growing body of research now confirms that when we eat may be just as critical to blood sugar control, insulin sensitivity and long-term metabolic health....<<<Read More>>>...
