I usually just forget about food until Mr B starts lurking with a hopeful expression on his non-low carb face, reminding me to re-fuel him.

Bless him! Mr S is not unlike this......! In fact he now uses the line 'I'm LOW!'. He's not diabetic, just married to a low-carber......

Boursin cheese softened with celery to dip it up with.

What do you have as 'treats' knowing that you are T2 ?

I'm looking for 'safe' treats that won't sky- rocket my sugar levels.

That you might have to experiment with. For me, cheese works...nuts (Almonds...raw), found some lower carb yogurt cups (5g cabrs / 100 g). To avoid spikes don't have carbs by themselves, have a few crackers with cheese or peanut butter (natural PB, not the processed sweetened kind). Veggies...carrots / celery / cucumbers / brocoli with a little but of dip or ranch dressing.
