Snacks for induction

Hey, I was induced last year and also on a closed loop system. What worked best for me was sticking to small, low-GI snacks – oatcakes, nuts, Greek yogurt, and small portions of berries helped keep my levels steady without sudden spikes. I avoided white bread, juice, or big carb-heavy meals during early labour.


Once things progressed and I couldn’t eat solids, sipping on no-sugar electrolyte drinks helped maintain energy without raising sugars too much. Definitely speak to your diabetes team beforehand to have a plan ready.


Hope it all goes smoothly for you! Also, did my SASSA Status Check this morning while prepping snacks – keeping everything in order before the week starts.
