[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1118423, member: 94045"] May I ask why you are eating low fat products? Is there a medical problem that warrants this? If you can, switch to the real thing - full fat yogurts, butter, cream, real mayo etc. Good fats fill you up and stop you feeling hungry. Also, low fat products are often stuffed with extra sugar to make them taste better. There is no need to go overboard on fats and dairy, just swap any low fat ones for the real thing. Grapes are also difficult for diabetics, as is most fruit. Berries are fine in small quantities, and maybe a small apple. Chhese is good to nibble on for a snack, also nuts. Crackers are not always a wise choice. I really advise you to buy a meter. It is the ONLY way to learn which foods are keeping your blood sugars up. There is no other way. We test before we eat and again a couple of hours later. It is the actual rise that matters. Too high a rise and that food needs attention - either by avoiding it or reducing the portions. If you buy one, and I really advise you to, we can help you understand what is what. [/QUOTE]
