Too much brushing or not enough?

Because of low-blood sugar, I eat 6 times a day. I brush in the morning after a small breakfast, sometime mid-day, and at night.

Is this enough? I worry about brushing every time I eat because...it would be a lot. I have big decay issues but eat a mainly healthy diet.

Thoughts?
 
If you brush for 2-3 minutes each time its more than enough. Also, remember to floss!
 
Make certain you use a soft brush and be gentle with your brushing technique. Talk with a good hygienist and make sure you are brushing properly, also talk with your dentist about using fluoride rinses or gels at home to assist with your decay issue.
