Diabetic Snacks for Diabetes Patients to Overcome Hunger

Living with type 2 diabetes means being mindful of the ingredients and calories in what you eat or drink. Try to choose options that help manage your blood sugar. And because every person with diabetes's body responds differently to certain foods, there's no one-size-fits-all snacking guide or amount. But that doesn't mean breakfast time for diabetics is complicated or boring! Below are some foods that can be healthy choices for people with type 2 diabetes. When you're living with type 2 diabetes, you can eat a "better diet" by aiming for foods rich in protein and fiber, and low in empty carbohydrates and sugar. Know your portion sizes in advance, and don't forget to count carbohydrates into your overall meal plan.

Nuts are an excellent source of protein, healthy fats and vitamins. Plus, they're super easy to eat or take with you when you're in a rush. Some of the best nut choices include: cashews, peanuts, walnuts, almonds. Nuts are low in carbohydrates, but they do contain a lot of calories, so it's best to watch the portion size or amount you eat. For example, a 1-ounce serving of almonds is about 23 nuts, and contains 6 grams of protein, 14 grams of fat, and 164 calories. Adding more nuts to your daily diet may have another benefit like weight management. According to a 2019 research review, increasing daily nut consumption may even lead to weight loss over time.

Popcorn is a great breakfast or snack option for people with type 2 diabetes. The fiber content in popcorn can help keep you fuller for longer, which can help curb cravings for sweets. Remember that most of the calories in popcorn come from carbohydrates, so be sure to watch your serving size. Aim for about 3 cups of popcorn, which contains about 19 grams of carbohydrates and about 177 calories. You can buy pre-popped popcorn, but be sure to read the nutrition facts. Avoid hydrogenated oils and added sugars. Also stay away from movie theater-style popcorn, as it can be high in saturated fat and salt

Carrots, capsicums, cucumbers and other raw vegetables are great for dipping in hummus. These colorful vegetables are also rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Hummus is made from chickpeas, making it high in both protein and fiber. Chickpeas also have a low glycemic index, which means they are less likely to cause blood sugar spikes. Olives contain a good amount of healthy fats along with iron, fiber and vitamin E. Olives are also rich in phytonutrients, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. A 1-cup serving of black olives contains 8 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of sugar, and 8 milligrams of iron. If you can't eat olives, try putting them on top of some hummus.

Eggs only take 10 to 15 minutes to boil, and diabetics can prepare them ahead of time for their busy week. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and contain only carbohydrates. Yogurt is rich in protein and is also a good source of calcium. Make sure you choose plain, unsweetened yogurt. Avoid any flavored or sweetened yogurts, as they are likely to contain a lot of added sugar. You can eat your yogurt with blackberries, or blueberries to add some sweetness. These berries are high in antioxidants and fiber but surprisingly low in sugar. Dehydration can raise your blood sugar, so staying hydrated is an essential part of diabetes management. Since soda and most fruit juices can be high in sugar, try adding sugar-free flavored water to your daily routine.
