Snacking should be done between meals

Certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian nutritionist Amelia Sherry shares her best picks for diabetic-friendly snacks. Crunchy, savory and even sweet, these snacks are made to crush hunger.

The old adage to “avoid snacking between meals” isn’t necessarily great advice, particularly for people with diabetes. In fact, going long periods of time—say, more than three to four hours—without eating can actually work against you if your goal is to keep blood sugar stable and stave off hunger.

What’s better? Indulging in a powerful mix of just the right nutrients and flavors to balance blood sugar and quell your cravings. That’s why this list contains snacks rich in one or more glucose-steadying and appetite-suppressing nutrients such as fiber, fat and protein as well as a host of dynamic flavors and textures.

The snacks on this list also clock in at about two hundred calories or less, which is another good rule-of-thumb to keep in mind when it comes to figuring out which snacks will work for—not against—your goal of maintaining weight while also keeping blood sugar balanced.
