How long do you wait in between meals

We all are different... they wanted me to eat 4-5 hours apart but the insulin spikes made that impossible. I eat something about every 2 hours... now before anyone starts telling me that I eat too often - I am staying in the 1200 calorie range. A "meal" for me might just be a protein bar and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, a single-serve luch meat and yogurt or a small salad with chicken... it works for me and keeps my blood sugar levels in-check.

 I usually have a protein shake for breakfast, then I eat lunch and dinner. I do not usually have a snack. Sometimes if I am really hungry, I will have some grapes or a piece of cheese, but then that might just become my lunch. I am on the go a lot, so I am probably not eating as much as I should. But my doctor said I am fine takin in between 400 and 500 calories a day for now.
