For me the meal and snack schedule is an important part of regulating my blood sugar. If I skip a meal or snack my blood sugar is going to go up.

3 meals a day plus 3 snacks. 220 carbs per day, I try to do 60 carbs per meal for 180, the other 40 for snacks.
I'm glad i did the 8 hour class. Counting carbs 60x3.. If i eat 3 x a day and very small snacks -i may drop these numbers. I'm holding at 120 to 140 all day due to eating in the am. It's only my 2nd day in over 40 years that i eat before 12. Sleep has a lot to do also. AGAIN--Due to working the midnight shift-i am up ------- here on S&W forum at 1am.....!!!!
Guys--thank you for the info. I know it's hard talking about our problem. All of you are a bunch of Stand Up Guys !!!!
