For me as a hypoglycemic, breakfast is the worst time to eat carbs.
The wrong breakfast and my insulin goes up, the blood sugar
crashes, and I spend the rest of the day trying to catch up.
If I eat a very low-glycemic breakfast, I'm not hungry till lunch.
("wrong breakfast" used to be cereal and milk, French toast,
fruit and yogurt, sweet rolls, oh! the way I used to eat! )

The best time to eat carbs for me is in the evening.  I never get
a crash after supper, even while I was vegetarian and ate way too
many carbs.

I'd be interested to know the physiology behind this.
