Living with diabetes means making a lot of changes. You need to monitor your blood sugar, get special diabetic socks, and change your diet.
That includes snacking. When most people think of snacks, they picture the little package of M&Ms waiting for them in their desk, or the bag of chips calling to them from the pantry.
But when you have diabetes, snacking becomes trickier. You need to choose things that will help you control your blood sugar levels.
That doesn’t mean you’re doomed to a lifetime of bland, boring food. Here are a few snacks for diabetics that are as healthy as they are enjoyable.
1. Yogurt and berries
Berries and yogurt taste amazing together, a nice blend of sweet and tart. Better still, yogurt – Greek yogurt especially – offers you a great source of protein, while berries are high in antioxidants and fiber, all of which adds up to lower blood sugar levels.
2. Hummus and vegetables
Hummus might look and sound boring – a beige paste made from chickpeas? – but it’s delicious. Native to the Middle East, it has a wonderful flavor, and offers a great source of protein. Add some veggies – raw broccoli, carrots or bell pepper – and you’ll be getting the fiber you need as well.
3. Apple slices and peanut butter
Next on our list of snacks for diabetics is something virtually anyone can enjoy. Once again, both these foods are high in fiber, which is important for blood sugar control. And peanut butter is a good source of vitamin E, manganese and magnesium, which help you manage your diabetes.
4. Almonds
