Low carb snacks

I'm not type 2 but i like to find low carb snacks for the very reason i dont want to inject all the time. Babybel cheese is a favourite. Or olives and cheese. Or nuts. The graze bags are nice for a small snack as often there's a combo of carbs, nuts and pulses. Or bags of pork crackling. Yum!

My partner loves to snack and he has just spent the last 30minutes searching our cupboards for something to eat under 10g of carbs (so he doesn't have to take extra insulin).

Nairn's do a Cheese Oatcake, they are very nice and each one has 3.7g of carbs.

Pork scratching for me, also high percentage cocoa chocolate, I like Aldi's 70% its 5 individual portions 7g carbs each or Lindt 70,80%.

Hi @098 ..
For me snacks are: boiled egg mashed up in mayo, cold cuts of meat, porl scratchings, Babybel, cheese chunks (1 cu cm approx), olives or celery sticks with full fat cream cheese. I don't eat nuts because I don't like them ..
Hope this helps

I'm type 2, but enjoy the following low carb snacks, one or two squares of 85% chocolate, 25g of mixed plain nuts and Hartleys sugar free jellies. I also make carb free milk shakes with unsweetened roasted almond milk and no added sugar Crusha milkshake syrup.

Slices of cheese and ham or other deli meats are good. I also enjoy coleslaw (homemade) so you know what is involved. There are so many things now that are great for T1D's

Walnuts and blue cheese are one of my favourite snacks

Every single day I have a chocolate whey drink, made with one scoop of chocolate whey (about 25 g of protein and about 2 or 3 g of carbs) made with 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I just put it into a blender bottle (a plastic bottle with a little wisk type ball in it). Its a delicious "chocolate milk" treat, that even lowers my blood sugar! I like it at night, too - if I am a bit hungry, and it totally fills me up. Do a google search on the effects of whey protein for diabetics. Good evidence that it really helps us. There is one article that suggests having in the morning, before eating a higher carb breakfast, can help lower the resulting BG. Try it!!!! I'm in the US, and my favorite is Optimum Nutrition, and can also get on Amazon. There are a lot of flavors, but milk chocolate is my favorite, and vanilla ice cream. There is a blueberry cheesecake one, too that I like!

Nuts for me either as an instant snack or , if I have almonds, to liquidize them with a few berries ( I use the frozen ones) a packet of stevia, half an avocado a drop of vanilla and a half pint of cold water to give an amazing smoothie

Cheese, nuts, boiled egg and pork scratchings x

Hi, I agree that nuts and cheese are the easiest way to go. I have a nuts, cheese and apple box for lunch on work days. My problem is variety for breakfast. Sometimes eggs are just not appealing!

I got fed up with eggs for breakfast and by appealing on this forum I now have Greek yoghurt and berries or low carb pancakes:
