[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1447641, member: 94045"] As far as blood sugars are concerned there is no need to cut out fats. They actually help keep blood sugars more stable. It is carbs that need cutting. Fruit is not a good idea, especially as a snack. It is best eaten as part of a meal with either a plain full fat yogurt or cream. Berries are your best bet. Grapes and bananas are your worst bet, along with most tropical fruits. I don't and never have snacked so I have no experience, but I see on the forum that snackers often have some pork scratchings, or a piece of cheese or a hard boiled egg. If I do feel hungry, which is rare, I have a cup of tea! There is no harm in an occasional treat, but when out with your family you could always choose a low carb option from the menu. You would need to check with your meter whether the cheat meals you anticipate are doing you harm. It depends what it is (and how much) you eat! [/QUOTE]
