snacks a diabetic can eat

That sounds about right but your dietician will go over the exact amount of carbs you can intake with each meal. In my case, I'm required to eat a total of 180 carbs a day/30 carbs each feeding (eat up to 6x a day-breakfast, lunch, dinner with snacks after each). I have to check my sugar before my first meal and then every two hours after breakfast, lunch and dinner. I mainly drink water (all day) and milk (breakfast/lunch only).

Wanted to know if you guys have any tips on snacks for diabetics as I am new at this. Plus I have a big sweet tooth. So good recipes would help! Thanks!

Her body is trying to send her sugar for energy (and food), so her levels are going to be up. Start having her eat low-sugar snacks every couple of hours, and try to eat 4-6 SMALL meals a day. In any case, a visit to the doctor can't hurt!

I am not a physican or nutritionist, but the mom of a type one diabetic. We do not use sugar free snacks as a lot of them contain an ingredient called manitol or sorbitol. This ingredient is in most sugar free items and can cause the runs along with bowel problems. What we give our daughter is healthy no or low carbohydrate snacks.

I have a family history of diabetes. Mother, grandfather & a borderline brother.I had gestational diabetes that went away after I lost the baby weight. I've eaten a very rigid healthy diet my whole life. Recently, I'm up all night in bathroom, my fingers are numb, my mouth tastes like sugar, I feel Whaley at times, my vision is blurry when I'm hungry and I feel at times like I'm dying of thirst.

im type 2 diabetic, my sugar is under control i keep my numbers in range i eat five meals a day including snacks, but i always feel hungry. it is normal.

Can you eat a snack between a meal and when you're supposed to test your blood sugar??

I eat all hours of the day. I even wake up in the middle of the night to eat! But ive realized i can only snack! Full meals turn my belly & make me feel sick. I try to take in as many fruits and veggies as i can instead of junk! Do y'all know any snacks that will fill me up for at least a good 15 mins!?

I was wondering how you managed your diabetes and how strict you are with your diet, like do you only eat set meals throughout the day and stay away from foods with a high glycemic index? If you do eat foods with a high GI, like a banana, do you wait a while after taking your insulin to give it a headstart?

Generally they reccommend 180 carbs per day. 30 for breakfast and 45 for lunch and dinner. This allows for 3 15 carb snacks. There are several snacks or add on to meals you can have that don't cause a spike in blood sugar such a cottage cheese and several veggies.

As for the large peanut butter cookies, not much can be said. As a diabetic I strongly suggest if you are going to be out for a period of time with no access to healthy snacks, you carry your own. Your health, not your golf game, should be your priority. It will be hard to play golf if you have your legs amputated due to diabetic complications.

I intake about 1200 to 1400 calories per day, and avoid as much fat as I can, and eat as much fiber as I can. I even switched to sprouted grain bread to have a lower GI (no flour) and eat fresh vegetables and fruits instead of frozen or canned. I don't eat any desserts or snacks. I feel so food deprived, and then I get bozos telling me that I really need to cut out the snacking. I don't snack on stuff except celery and carrot sticks! They just don't know.

I eat a lot of fruit snacks and fruit roll ups but I'm really trying to gain some weight!!! Lol but that's all I can really eat too. But eat like pb&j?

He is eating the carbs appropriately, but is still hungry. What can he eat and still stay within the diet. Can he have more meat or vegetables???? Can he have a snack? And what about all this sugar free stuff - it still has carbs?? We're so confused! We're going to the doctor tomorrow and are going to the education classes as soon as we can, but I wanted to get some advice from some of you who have dealt with this for a while.

Whewww !!! I had my annual physical with me PCP in mid October of this year, they took the usual labs. I got a call from the PCP'S nurse four days later that the DR wanted me to come in & he was concerned about the Hemoglobin ALC results, mine was 6.4 I have family members with diabetes , the Dr scared me and said if I didn't take weight off and become more active ( kinda hard right now, I'm in a walking boot ) that in one year or less I would become a Diabetic.

Cheeses meats veggies anything that's "sugar free". I'm a type 1 diabetic it's hard just to make sure I have enough carbs let alone find the in between foods that won't affect my sugars. Make a salad. Cook a hot dog. Eat string cheese. There's a lot that you can have.

If I it eat a fruit, I also eat a little bit of nuts, low fat cheese, 2% yogourt or even a piece of chicken or fish. You shouldn't avoid carb but choose well. Complexe carb and high in fiber help delay hunger and feel full. Whole cereals products went choosing bread and pasta go a long way. Also take you time to eat and drink lot of water.

The calorie intake for a growing 8 year old is approximately 2000 calories a day that are eaten as three meals and snacks between meals. Limit high sugar drinks/snacks, and try replacing with milk/yogurt or fruit/popcorn/low-fat cheese.

Ftm. 35+2 weeks. Started to pack my hospital bag and i'm only needing a few things more. But i've read on a lot of different things that i should pack some snacks. What kind of simple snacks should i pack? Could i pack fruit like apples? I love apples...

Hi everybody, I'm 18 and a college student and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes this past Saturday. I was wondering what everybody reccomended as snacks? I've been having a lot of nuts and seeds, such as peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds,etc.

basically no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit, or high glycemic index veggies. After the first two weeks, more foods get added. Over the long haul you can eat fruit again, but should stick to low glyemic index fruits. I was shocked to learn watermelon is off the list due to its high sugar content. The diet also emphasizes the importance of breakfast (think eggs and turkey bacon instead of cereal).

I ate lunch that just consisted of fruit, veggie straws, fruit snacks and a granola bar. This got me till 4pm when I started to have awful heartburn and a headache. I also noticed I was spotting even though my period ended a week ago. (no sexually active, so no way of being pregnant). I got home and took a Tylenol and had fast food for dinner. I felt better, but then I has a sudden chest pain that lasted a few seconds again, but it felt crushing and it was more towards the center of my chest.

I just got diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and I was wondering what are some easy snacks and meals to prepare? I work 12 hour shifts at a vet clinic, so im definitely going to have to start meal and snack preps.

I cant think of anything off the top of my head dear, but Im sure they have a list of things to eat for women who becme diabetic during pregnancy on the internet.

I found out I was a diabetic when i found out I was pregnant i thought the same thing that I couldn't eat anything what really does it is the carbs if you eat carbs just eat a little and no sweets at all
