snacks

Hi all. I was diagnosed with T1 just over a year ago. I've a huge appetite and have always been bad with portions but i would generally have a good balanced diet outside of that. I'm never full and always looking for more so just wanted to start a thread to ask people for suggestions on snacks...

Hey guys hope you're all well, I have been newly diagnosed on Saturday with type 1 diabetes. I'm still so overwhelmed by all the information given to me and I'm struggling, basically I have a Tresibo pen I take in the morning then I have a NovoRapid pen I take before each meal 3 times a day. I...

I was diagnosed as Type 2 in August this year. I have got my hbA1c down from 69 to 42 with weight loss and diet. Even though this year's festivities are somewhat curtailed as a result of the upsurge in the “plague” this year will be my first Christmas as a diabetic, and I was wondering what...

Im 16. I was diagnosed when i was 15, 2 months ago when i went to the hospital for broken knee surgery and left finding out i ate my way into type 2. I was really upset at first, but decided to take it in my stride and try to get it in remission ( the hba1c test showed that my bs was a 7.8, but...

Hi I'm reasonably newly diagnosed Type 1, (2 months on Friday) but I have a decent grasp of T1 from my mum and sister who have been diabetic my whole life. I had to hit the ground running a bit with a few other holidays under my belt already but only for a couple of days and in Europe so no...

My backup plan just in case time is limited and I am starving is tinned yellow fish tuna or herring. Some weeks I must admit I will eat this three to four times over a seven day period. What is your back-up plan for a quick go to meal or snack? Just looking for some ideas to keep life a bit more...

Hi all, I'm Type 2 and about four weeks or so into taking insulin after a serious DKA incident, on tablets before that. Now taking fixed doses of Novarapid 3 x daily at breakfast, lunch and tea and Lantus in the middle of the day. I understand about taking the Novarapid with meals and have...

I'm a 19 year old first year university student and I was only diagnosed on Thursday. My levels have been a bit up and down at first but my diabetes team said that was to be expected! As of recently I've been managing to keep my levels to below 14 and around 8 which I'm really happy about...

Anyone got any good snacks that require no injections (between meals). To give you a hint I love pork pies, so suggestions of sliced green Peppers are not going to cut it! Haha.

My Daughter has just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. They are still trying to get her insulin levels in place at the hospital. But have told us 40g of carbs for meals and 15g of carbs for snacks. Meals I can handle. But snacks?? I'm lost. She loves to snack and now she is being restricted...

Bit of a slow week on the threads, so I'm calling out to all and sundry for some ideas for snacks for a long road trip. (Obviously this is just a thinly disguised way to announce I'm having another holiday - but bear with me). I've got two days drive down to Spain,then a bit of a pootle round...

Hello Folks, Hope you are all okay. I have been diagnosed with having a subtle blood sugar disorder back in 2013, i have cut out alot of sugar i used to have. My blood sugar has never been documented to go low but the doctor confirmed it was reactive hypoglycemia symptoms which were not linked...

Hello Everyone I am sat in my office at work and colleagues are munching on biscuits and crisps etc and I was wondering what could be a T2 sufferers go-to snack at work? Having been told I need to get a grip of my BS levels I thought I would ask. Whats your choice? Cheers Bill

Hi Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on no/low carb snacks I can send my son to school with. At the moment we have been sending cucumber, cheese or a little bit of chopped up peppers for when he is in his higher range but most of the time it ends up coming home uneaten and gets wasted...

Snack Cravings - The majority of us get them and can be hard to ignore for some of us! I thought I'd start a thread detailing what I do/eat when these pesky cravings crop up. Hopefully we can build a list of tips to help others that need a bit of inspiration or are bored of their current...

Hi Guys - thought I would post to get your thoughts on this one. Ive heard that pork scratchings (one of my most fave treats) is a good nil carb snack for people with diabetes so I thought last night i would have a few periodically after my tea. Results are as follows - before meal BS was 7.5...

Hi everyone. I'm currently following the 'standard' meal plan for diabetics - breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack before bed. However I'm finding this to not be enough as I often get very hungry between meals and my BG goes down as well. Has anyone experienced this? And is it a good...

Okay so mid afternoon and near bedtime i tend to get kinda hungry and I'd love to have a snack of some kind, but a lot of stuff thats snack-worthy tends to be over 10g of carbs which would mean I'd have to give myself more insulin, right? Like if I wanted a cereal bar before bed or like have...

Apologies in advance as I'm sure this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it? I'm battling binge eating at the moment, I'm pretty au fait with lower carb meals but my problem is grazing. I know it shouldn't be the case with low carb, but for me personally I know it's a major issue, and...

I picked up this little snack in M&S today and it is off-the-chart tasty. Chilli, lime and coconut super seeds with apricots. 25g weight per pack so only 2.15g carbs. Handy for keeping in your handbag/manbag. Not cheap at 55p per pack, but we can't have everything. The packet states it is...
