Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Looking for No Carb Snacks

Edger

I would like suggestions for some good no carb snacks that I can
keep in the house. At night I like to have a snack. Most times I've
used up my carbs for the day. So very low carb or no carb food would be good.

Nuts DO have carbs, but are good for you and make a good snack. However, you can only eat about 1/4 cup worth.

I love the Fiber One snacks and they make good snacks. However, one snack is all the carb count you should have.
Check the packages of snacks. Your count for a snack should be between 15-20 if you want to keep your blood sugar within range.

celery is about the only thing I can think of. Try greek yougart for night, it gives you protein that is needed

My dietician suggested Kind bars, the ones with < 5 g of sugar in them. I like them and they are satisfying.

I also eat nuts for snacks.

What are Kind bars. I am from Canada and don't know if we have them. Where do you buy them?
What is in them?

Salsa with some wheat type of chips are always a good snack :)

I make okra chips and green bean chips..I don't mix them...Haven't quite got the hang of doing it as attractively as they do it in the stores, but I enjoy them...There are many simple recipes for that...(I use the whole green beans and the cut okra). There are claims that kale chips and spinach chips are tasty. Haven't tried those yet.

Lynnie,

I buy them at our grocery store. They are separated from other granola bars and are sold in single bars. Some have only 5 g of sugar. They are hard granola bars with nuts and a chocolate like coating on the bottom. Good snack to tide you over to the next meal. With the nuts, it has protein in each.

I like to munch on cauliflower or broccoli. Most veggies are carb fee. However I do know that they do not always satisfy the craving for carbs.
