A member asked:
Can non-diabetics go several hours without eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shouldn't.: Diabetics should be having smaller more frequent meals throughout the day to best help regulate blood sugar levels. As well, diabetics on certain medications like Glimepiride or Insulin should not go without eating as they can become hypoglycemic due to the medications.
