Diabetics should aim for high fiber, low glycemic index snacks that help to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Combining this item with a healthy fat or lean protein help to further lower the glycemic index of the carbohydrate it is consumed with. This includes things like: - Sliced fruit with nut butter (example: sliced apple with macadamia nut butter or sliced banana with peanut butter) - Whole grain toast with avocado or peanut butter - Whole fruit with a handful of nuts.
