Is it ok to switch night & day feeding?

[Mouse & Me]

Since Mouse tends to get her low numbers at night, (1/30,2/14,3/7, 4/11), would it be a problem to do her nighttime feeding, (less food, since I'm asleep), and daytime feeding at night = meals starting at 6pm, until midnight.
I'm thinking that she's doing good during the day, building up "depot", and then I get a pajama party. Why not smaller amounts of food during the day, and meals at night?

Btw, I give her "kibble" at blood test time, which is fancy feast that's been freeze dried and cut up into tiny bits. No store-bought dry food in her diet at all. She's fooled into thinking that she's getting her kitty krack, same for gravy....I grind the freeze dried food into powder, add water, and she thinks she's geting gravy. All low carb, same food as from the can. I fight finickiness with sneakiness.
I put the "kibble" into the autofeeder, so when I sleep, she's getting the same low carb snack.

I'll give her a tbl of wet food instead of the "kibble" at test time, so she'll head for the autofeeder during the night even more. At least, that's the idea

Very ingenious way to trick her!!

I am a believer in free feeding myself. (Just not two hours prior to test)... So feed her whenever it works for you.

@Diane Beem - Could you tell us more about how you freeze dry the food? This sounds very interesting.

George won't free feed because he's a glutton, but I use the auto feeder to give him snacks day and night, he gets his main meals at 8am/8pm and then snacks at 3hourly intervals day and night now that he is in remission.
Feeding small regular snacks am and pm can be helpful, though when he was on insulin I tried to make sure he got most of his daily requirement of food before +7, if you feed too much late in the cycle, it can put the brakes on the insulin and lead to higher Preshot numbers.
When he was on insulin I just made sure to make the auto feeder turn to an empty slot 2hours before shot time so I could be sure that the amps/pmps wasn't food influenced.
