Cheese, nothing maybe pork scratchings.. assuming you are low carbing.. but no snacking is usually best.

Why do you feel the need to snack before bed?

I only snack on a digestive if my levels are on the low side and I don't feel safe enough to go to bed but I'm a Type 1 on insulin, if you aren't on a hypo causing medication then I don't understand why people feel the need to snack before bed

Edited to add
Ah I see your on Glic, is it because your experiencing lower levels when you test before bed?

Hi. I agree that you are best avoiding the habit of bedtime snacking. If you must then nuts might be good.

I see you are on Gliclazide, which might mean you need to eat to counteract its effects - if you are low then cheese and crackers or a couple of plain biscuits would be an easy option.
