Snacks

[emily deacon]

Hiya does anyone know of any tasty snacks a diabetic type 1 can have? I have yet to find a tasty snack that doesn’t spike my sugar levels after and hour or 2 of eating them (e.g biscuits, crisps etc)

Pork scratchings

Do you take insulin with your snacks? Or are you looking for something to snack on without insulin?
The advice I was given was you could have up to 15g carbs as a snack between meals without insulin. This would be a biscuit or packet of crisps or an apple (but not a banana).
Or you could take insulin to avoid the spike.
Alternatively, try low carb snacks such as nuts.

I wouldn’t mind injecting for snacks if it’s low, but my doctor told me I can have anything from 10g and below without injecting and it seems to still spike

Itsu crispy seaweed thins (wasabi flavour)from Sainsbury's Each small pack = 0.6g carbs/22 cals

Nairns oat biscuits with cheese ( hard or cottage ). 4.5 g per biscuit. 3 or 4 tend to satisfy and don't spike me.

Baby bell cheese comes in a convenient package and is yummy too.

Always my fav ! Healthiest natural fat on the planet

But I do have to take a little insulin if that’s all I’m eating.
