Diabetics need to watch their blood sugar to make sure it doesn't go too high or too low. Snacking plays a role in this. But one word of caution: DO NOT INSIST ON HAVING A SNACK! If your carb count is rather high in a meal, then leave off snacks. Here are some quick and easy ideas.
- 1/2 cup blueberries with 1/4 cup cream and stevia
- 1 3oz slice of cantaloupe or 1/2 cup cubed with 1/2 mini bagel and 1 tbsp whipped cream cheese
- 1 slice of whole grain toast with jam and spread
- 1/3 cup cooked rice (overcooked and drained and rinsed) 1 pot of sugar free vanilla pudding and a dash of cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese with 1/2 cup fruit of choice
- 2 slices of apple, no skin, 1 piece of lower sodium turkey meat (deli), 1 tsp whipped cream cheese, spread the cream chees on the turkey meat and wrap the apple in the middle.
