Worried about blood sugar spike, 40-year-old wanted to skip dinner: Was he right?

What Happened
A 40-year-old patient questioned skipping dinner to prevent blood sugar spikes based on social media advice. Medical experts clarify that age alone doesn't determine dinner necessity. Post-40, metabolism becomes less efficient at handling blood sugar, especially at night. Body's internal circadian rhythm affects hormone regulation and food processing. Research suggests eating more calories earlier and keeping dinner lighter helps maintain better blood sugar levels.
