Okay, what do you diabetics out there eat for snacks  |
|
 I have to take a diabetic pill at night and I have to eat a snack with it, to keep my sugar from bottoming out through the night...I have ate my snacks so much I am sick of them, I want to know what kind of snacks do you eat if you are required to eat one with pills or insulin.....any ideas out there???
Examples of what I eat for snacks....peanut butter & crackers, peanut butter & graham crackers, cottage cheese & fruit, popcorn and string cheese, fresh fruit with peanut butter, 1/2 PB sandwich.....cheese crackers, so any other ideas out there????Please have something new to eat. I think if I eat another spoon of peanut butter I will croak...UGH!

 crazynurse (5648) | 6 months ago |  I'm glad to be of assistance! Best of luck to you and feel free to call on me anytime! Oh, and by the way, the toritilla that I mentioned should really be the low fat/whole grain variety.

| kcook57 (857) | 6 months ago | Thanks so much for your help, I am having yogurt tonight with a piece of whole wheat toast....You are a gem and I am glad I found you!
Now you got any place on the web I can go and snag some good yummy low carb recipes. I have hit a few, and found some, but I need another site or two.
I went to DLife and ADA site.....know of anymore??? | |
|
|
| crazynurse (5648) | 6 months ago | I would google 'South Beach Diet Recipes' and 'Atkins Diet Recipes...as both low carb. The Atkins diet is totally low carb and the South Beach Diet is based on 'good' versus 'bad' carbs.
A favorite recipe place that I use is at this link: it has low carb recipes!

Here is a link to a board of South Beach dieters and their recipe thread: http://www.southbeach-die... | |

| 3. wanttoworkfromhome (43) | 6 months ago |  How about hummus or something else with beans/lentils in it. Maybe Minestrone soup with beans in it, or pasta salad with beans...maybe these aren't good for nighttime, what about cereals that have nuts in them? You can buy ground almonds and sprinkle them on some cereal/oatmeal, Hmm...sorry I can't think of anything else.

|
| kcook57 (857) | 6 months ago | Yes cereal sounds good, amd the oatmeal does too....maybe I will try these...Thanks! | |

| 4. twoey68 (5431) | 4 months ago |  Mostly peanut butter...it's great. Also cheese, fruit, crackers, nuts, anything along those lines. I've also learned a trick if you want to eat sweet treats like M&M's...I drink a full bottle of water while eating them. The water helps your body process them faster so the sugar doesn't have as much time to absorb as it normally does.

 judy43 (240) | 4 months ago | I eat cheese and fruits for a snack but crackers make my sugar go up. I like the idea about the water and m&ms.Going to try it. | |
|
|
| kcook57 (857) | 4 months ago | have heard about the water deal....I have never tried it though, but sounds like a great idea to me....LOL
I like PB and I also do alot of fruit, nuts, cheese....and the PB and cheese isn't doing too much for my bowels....UGH!
I have entreated benefiber into my diet and it is helping me too.
Thanks twoey & HUGS! | |

|
| twoey68 (5431) | 4 months ago | There are times when I really need a sweet treat and the only way I can seem to have them is with lots of water. Ice cream is another thing I love but very hazardous for me so I mix it half ice cream and half milk...it makes it less sweet.

| 5. lilviolet (18) | 3 weeks ago | I was diagnosed 4 months ago and I'm having a hard time with this as well. I can't have peanut butter because my son is allergic and I won't have it in the house. I usually end up having cheese and crackers or cinnamon toast. I hate eating right before I go to bed and it seems like a chore to me. | |
