Being unwell & high blood sugars!
I started a low carb high fat eating regime on Monday, so far so good :) My BG levels have dropped to 5-7mmol already! Also taking less insulin which is a bonus, and will hopefully lead to some weight loss.

Just looking for ideas to have as a snack? I don't want to have anything too high in sugar such as fruit or yogurt....
 
Well I only eat breakfast a light lunch and dinner which are all loaded with veg and I'm eating <30g of carbs per day so I'm finding that I'm waking up hungry between midnight and 1am. Figured if I had a snack of some sort before bed I might get a more settled sleep....
 
Are you eating enough fat to compensate for the low carbs? Try nuts, cheese (Babybels are handy), or make one of the almond/cheese/coconut flour "breads" from the recipes on this forum. I accidentally made a really solid brick-like thing this week and one small slice with butter or Marmite and a cherry tomato is ample as a snack. Also peanut butter & celery or something like that.
I used to be a serial late snacker but since I started eating a lot (hopefully wisely) at tea/dinner time I don't need more later. Maybe a small square of very dark choc ... ;)
