Snacks are something that everyone eats and when the person is a diabetic the snacks might be different, they of course will not be sweets, unless they are specially prepared treats made for diabetics using other substances than sugar. The diabetic can have fruits and vegetable sticks, there are also things like non buttered popcorn, pretzels, potato chips and other things.
People with diabetes do not need to miss out on snacking, they just need to do it in a way that fits in with their eating plan so that their blood glucose level stays under control. People with diabetes under their maintenance plan normally do eat smaller meals several times a day rather than large meals to control their blood glucose values, and snacks can fit into this plan easily. |
