Sounds like an interesting dietary plan. I would like to add that while exercising is healthy any time of the day, doing it closer to bed time is best for diabetics because the liver is producing glucose while we sleep, regardless of what you had for dinner. Most people don’t know this because you can’t check your BS while you sleep.

That has changed fairly recently, however, with glucose monitoring devices such as the Dexcom and Libre 2. I would recommend any diabetics here to check with your health insurance to see if either of those two devices are covered because they eliminate the need to poke yourself, as they continually monitor your glucose levels. I use the Libre 2 and it is fully covered by my health insurance and it has fixed my diet simply because it has allowed me to see what certain foods do to my glucose in real time, therefore I can adjust what I eat and what not to.

OTC, CVS, Walgreens, etc. About $50.

Don’t Italians take an afternoon nap?

Yep, siesta is a thing for southern Italians too. It makes sense in a hot climate before air conditioning. Take a nap in the hot part of the day.
