🥕Snacking with Diabetes

Everyone knows that sudden need to grab a bite to eat, even if it’s hours before the next meal. Snacking is often necessary to help people maintain their energy during the day or to tie you over in the middle of a long road trip or shift at work.

If you have diabetes, snacking may seem daunting or confusing because there is a lot of uncertainty that comes with it. Many people are unsure about what they can and can’t eat or if they should even be eating a snack. It’s important to remember that each person’s needs are different, and if snacking is a part of your daily routine, then you can try to opt for healthier options to keep your blood sugars under control.

🥑 When thinking about creating your snacks, it is critical to use ingredients that do not have a lot of added sugars, trans- or saturated fats. These ingredients tend to cause your blood sugars to spike much higher than they would if you were using whole grains, fruits, or non-starchy vegetables. Many snacks can be packed in a Ziploc bag or in a Tupperware for easy transportation when you are on-the-go or not at home. With the right planning and ingredients, you can create tasty, quick, and portable snacks for your busy day-to-day routine.
