Farm food late meal problem?

Question

Im working at a farm.
Im living with the farmer and his wife in the farm house so I eat when they eat.
 Im working 6am till 7pm everyday. We dont eat dinner till 8.30pm. This is far too late for me. It picks up my blood sugar too late in the  day and I cant sleep properly. Im getting more and more tired and making mistakes in my work.
No one else seems bothered by it. They must be used to it. I dont want to upset the lady or my boss.
What should i do?

I would speak to them (seriously), and tell them your problem. You're right that it is too late to be eating a full dinner. Perhaps they can have your food ready after you come in from work?
If you are diabetic, they should understand that it's important to keep your blood sugar stable at all times. Best of luck.

No need to upset anyone.  If you want to have less blood sugar, keep the carbs down especially at the last meal of the day.  Focus on eating more fat.  I'm not trolling you, it's really true that farmhands, farmers, etc... ate a lot more fat and ate about 4500 calories per day in the past.  If you're trying to "eat healthy" and avoiding the fats, you're only hurting yourself.  Fats are a fuel for your body just like carbs.  But they have zero effect on your blood sugar.

Eat heavier at lunch ask for seconds and pack it to the field etc. Maybe ask for boiled eggs at breakfast too so easily carried during the day.

You  might  have  to  buy  some  of  your  own  food  to  snack  on  such  as  fruit  and  nuts  and  cereals.  You  can  have  a  bowl  of  cereal  and  milk  anytime  you  want.  Or  nuts,  fruits  certain  sandwiches.
