I think the diabetic diets they recommend now are veering away from 6 meals....apparently, its best to go long periods where you don't eat at all...14-16 hrs and to keep your eating down to only a certain number of hrs...

theory is that you aren't raising your blood sugar multiple times a day...

“theory is that you aren’t raising your blood sugar multiple times a day...”

That doesn’t always need the insertion of food into the body. A for instance is as morning approaches, your body prepares to rise and it releases a surge of hormones. Those hormones can work against insulin to cause your blood sugar to rise slightly. When this happens, it is known as ‘dawn phenomenon.’

In most people, dawn phenomenon is typically harmless because your body creates a small amount of insulin to correct the problem. However, for those with diabetes, it can become a bigger challenge, says endocrinologist Sana Hasan, DO. I have that problem.

An interesting article on that is here:

There always seem to be more theories than successes and each theory has a certain amount of success and points.
