I don't prescribe snacks named 'diabetic' and to say food is a "diabetic food" is currently illegal.

This is on the grounds that there isn't any proof that these food sources offer you an exceptional advantage over eating strongly. They can likewise frequently contain the same amount of fat and however many calories as comparative items, and can in any case influence your blood glucose level. These food varieties can likewise in some cases make a purgative difference.

The key is to design your number one bites so they fit into your general eating routine, and watch your piece sizes.
 
The worst thing about 'diabetic' foods is that they often contain alternative sweeteners that can have a laxative effect.

If you follow a low carb diet you usually don't need snacks. It's best to limit the number of times you eat in a day so that your pancreas can have a rest.
 
@bmw100 what is your background?
I am surprised you are writing about what you "prescribe"

I hope your threads are not an attempt to sell something as that is against the forum rules and ethos
 
I assume you are Type 1 and an insulin user. Are you using MDI or a bolus.basal regime where you can adjust your dose to accommodate for carb intake? Users of a fixed dose regime do not have that luxury. Other diabetics on lifestyle or diet only regimes or even, like me. on oral meds do need to take note of carb intake and adjust the carbs to suit the meds. I also assume you are vegetarian which brings its own challenges in using Low Carb diets. But for those of us not using insulin, we do not actually need carb intake since it is actually non essential. There are no nutrients that a carb rich diet provides that are missing in a LCHF or keto diet, but the converse cannot be said to hold true.
 
@Oldvatr I assume you are not vegetarian.
Why are you commenting on a thread in the "Vegetarian Diet Forum"?

This one is in the food, nutrition and recipes section and the OP doesn't mention being vegetarian, merely that they prescribe a list of foods that seem to be all vegetarian.

Because it is an Open Forum, and I am allowed. You may disagree with what I say, and vice versa. So far all you have done is disagree, and not contributed materially to these discussions. Sorry, you may own your own condition. but you do not own the right to censor others.

And FYI I have been vegetarian at stages in my life.
 
Back on topic, lovely people.

Back in the day, the “diabetic friendly” stuff was on a special shelf down my local chemist.
My experience is they can make a purgative difference.. The taste wasn’t great either.

Chocolate with maltitol is the best tasting laxative going!

Exlax anyone? I was on a flight once that had to do an emergency landing because one of the passengers overdosed on it and blocked the loos.
 
I don't agree with this all you need to do is eat a healthy diet a lot of low gi good and occasionally have a treat
