The Claim
In healthy young women, consuming dinner one hour before bedtime for four days does not significantly impair overall glucose tolerance as measured by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), despite transient changes in postprandial glucose dynamics.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In healthy young women, eating dinner one hour before bedtime for four days does not reduce overall glucose tolerance during an oral glucose tolerance test, although blood sugar levels after eating show short-term fluctuations.
See the scientific wording
In healthy young women, eating dinner 1 hour before bedtime does not significantly impair overall glucose tolerance as measured by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after four days of intervention, despite transient changes in postprandial glucose dynamics.
Eating dinner right before bed causes blood sugar to stay high during the night, then drop quickly, which activates the nervous system and fragments sleep, but the liver and pancreas still respond to sugar normally the next day, so overall sugar processing stays unchanged.
What the research says
1 studyEven after eating dinner just one hour before bed for four days, these women’s bodies still handled a big sugar load just as well as before—so their ability to process sugar didn’t get worse.
