what is a reasonable snack for a diabetic?

Question

and I know a small piece of fruit but what else?

Answer 1

Here are some I use

fruit
no sugar added yogurt
Granola bar
a little bit of popcorn
Peanut butter on toast

Answer 2

a handful of almonds, cashews or peanuts
a cup of lowfat yogurt (sweetened with splenda)
crackers with cheese

Take some time to learn the exchange lists for planning meals and snacks. It's a shorthand method diabetics can use to control their food intake. Once you know how much a serving, or exchange, is for your favorite foods, it will be easy to plan your meals and snacks to keep your blood sugar stable.

Answer 3

some toast or crackers is fine also, also a half of cup of cottage cheese is acceptable snack for morning or afternoon. i have to do this with my diabetes and so i have to be really careful and enjoy the food i am allowed to have also..

Answer 4

That would depend on your blood sugar level. If your low you want something sweet. On the other hand if your high you want a high protein snack to help bring your sugar level down. I snack using cheese and crackers normally if I'm high for low and orange works great. Stay away from the chips and other junk foods due to hidden sugars.

Answer 5

my diabetic doctor told me before bedtime to eat a few graham crackers. Fruit is good but it does have a lot of sugar.

Answer 6

I am eating celery with a little lowfat cottage sprinkled with pepper---also pop frozen grapes once in a while.

Answer 7

Small piece of carrot!
