If consuming carbohydrates late at night, pair them with protein and fats, and avoid refined carbohydrates or added sugars.

◐Partially SupportedConsuming over 70 grams of carbohydrates from raw organic honey for breakfast results in a blood glucose excursion that returns to baseline within one hour.

◐Partially SupportedInsulin works on a circadian rhythm, leading to reduced insulin sensitivity and secretion in the evening.

◐Partially SupportedA standard deviation of glycemic variability above 20% is undesirable, while levels around 11% are considered good.

✕Not SupportedConsuming refined carbohydrates or sugar in the evening can lead to elevated overnight blood glucose levels (140-150 mg/dL), especially in those with insulin resistance.

◐Partially SupportedConsuming sweets, treats, and desserts in the morning upon waking is preferable to consuming them at night.
