Yup me too.

I can if necessary (or if not) produce copious amounts of insulin,
just not at a high rate, while I tend towards three "main" meals,
relatively low carb breakfast, higher carb evening meal and lower carb
nocturnal snack, I fill in the gaps with nibbles.

Depending what I'm doing these may be one or two oatcakes (6g each)
with nut butter or cheese, half slice rye bread (20g) with butter or
decent margarine, nuts of many types, small amounts of dried fruit
with larger amounts of nuts, half avocados, cherries, strawberries
etc. etc.

This works for me in keeping my BG relatively even, knocking out the
potential for liver dumps or lows while never eating enough carbs in a
sitting to go high.

Does it work? Blood tests tomorrow, results in about a week. Judging
by my own meter and my BP measurements I'm not expecting to be worried
- for which thanks to the Usual Suspects.

Because, alas, we have a tiny fridge, and no room for a bigger one.  No
freezer at all.

I suppose there are really two answers; one for you and one
for your daughter. But I'll stick to you, because I have
little information about her. The same logic still applies.

I think you could find a happy median; between your present
way of eating and grazing. If you read my post again, my
snacks are just that - snacks. Too many people turn their
snacks into meals. Portion sizes are the key. Just enough to
let the body know I'm not starving and to stave off any
hunger pangs but not enough to significantly affect my
overall daily calories or raise a blip on the BG levels.

And on calories, I don't consciously count them but I tend
to adjust my main meal of the day related to snacks. The
more I have 'tween meals the smaller are the portions at my
main meals. The daily count probably comes out much the
same. You also did that automatically in the way you
describe your loss of appetite when you snacked; I just
don't have snacks big enough to cause that as severely.

Start small. As an example, you could pick your favourite
fruit, cut it in half (unless it's a grape:-), and eat each
half as a separate snack; say between lunch and dinner and
later in the evening. Or not - it's up to you.
