If I may add, I recall that not eating may result in damage to the pancreas and liver. In fact, type IIs are advised to even eat a snack at bed time so as not to go too long from dinner to breakfast.
That's true. I always have a snack around 8-9 o'clock. I LOVE my evening snacks! I test my sugar before I eat to be sure it's not too low (it can be early evenings)because once it got to 43 and my husband couldn't wake me up. I ended up in the hospital. That scared me. So I always have a snack unless we eat later than usual and I make a big pig of myself.
