Snacks that hold up well on the road for diabetics...

2 lb resealable bag of mini carrots

 

Content of sugar in carrots is too high.

Flavored cracker types is stuff is ok. Eat 4 or 5 of them every couple of hours.

I also bought some low fat whole wheat bars at costco and also some dehydrated fruit.

 

Here's a good link:

Nuts, whole grain mini rice cakes, whole grain tortilla chips. Peeled cucumber slices, hard boiled eggs. Atkins or store brand low card granola bars. Sometimes these are in the pharmacy area but very little sugar.

 

Does he have a fridge or cooler, or are you looking for snacks that don't need refrigeration?

 

Carrots have too much sugar? Thats a new one on me...

There are some fairly decent sugar-free cookies out there too. Thanks to the invention of Splenda, they arent too bad actually...

 

Congrats to your husband on the exemption. Dont forget to do your quarterly physical and get the forms mailed in on time. It takes a long time for mail to reach these people due to security screenings, so they like you to fax the stuff in first and then mail it in.

 

I never heard that carrots have high sugar... I eat them all the time with no issues (I'm also diabetic.)

I *do* have trouble with the rice cakes though, I guess the carbs in the rice do me in.

I like carrots, radishes, celery, and an occasional slice of rye bread. My main diet consist mostly of salads, though, so it gets old. But it keeps the sugar down and helps keep the weight under control as an added bonus.



Hope that helps a little bit.
