My aunt is diabetic. The ketogenic diet actually lowered blood sugar levels. The key is to eat fewer carbs and exercise. In fact, many articles cannot be trusted.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shaved Monkey', 'I') only eat when Im hungry
I have breakfast around 10/10.30, lunch 2 to 3ish .
Surprisingly while I may be a bit hungry going to bed I'm not hungry first thing in the morning.
Probably a lot has to do with a lowish carb diet,If I have simple carbs I'm hungry all day.
Eggs for breakfast is real good for stopping that

There is a thing called the Dawn Phenomenon that makes morning blood sugar rise a bit even in non-diabetics. It's a result of hormones in the early morning making you slightly insulin resistant and/or simply an adaptation so we have sufficient energy to get up and do what needs to be done.

Keto diet is all the rage now. If you have type 2 it will keep down blood sugar readings better than Oreos. If you are a type 1, ketosis can be dangerous— ketoacidosis is what kills diabetics in the short run. Low carb diet doesn't cause it, lack of insulin does, but eating a low carb diet means you necessarily take less insulin. You need to use keytone pee strips to make sure you aren't overdoing it. I wouldn't ever want to see keytones in my pee but that is the marker of success for the dedicated keto-dieter.
The reason you can do a low carb diet is the liver makes glucose in the absence of insulin from various broken down parts of fat and muscle, up to I think 150 g/day—that tearing down is why ketosis actually does burn fat. Anyway that glucose needs to be accounted for, if you are a diabetic, ideally with a "time-release" insulin if you are a T1 but I think monitoring would be good for T2s too.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('chakra', 'I')'ve been working hard to pay down all my debts, and prepare for peak oil or an economic depression. I was making progress but my 2 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It wasn't genetic and it caught us completely off guard.
Now the implications of system collapse is down right terrifying.

I apologize for all the incompetent peakers who scared you, and you have my sympathies about your daughter. Turns out they didn't know anything on this topic, and slunk off after it turned out their incompetence was revealed by the future that didn't involve their holy event of collapse.
Hope in this non-collapsed and plenty of oil world (Thank you very much American oil and gas producers) you and your daughter are doing okay, and not worried about what uninformed conspircy theorists think a topic beyond their comprehension.
