Can anyone recommend some snacks and meal replacements for diabetics?

Diabetics can eat some nutse.g.walnuts(Benefits for diabetics are reduced insulin resistance and decreased excess glucose uptake.)cashew nuts(Rich in manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium and other mineral elements to promote insulin synthesis, maintain the normal function of pancreatic islets, and regulate blood sugar),peanuts(Resveratrol and arachidonic acid in peanuts are beneficial in improving insulin secretion). However, nuts are very high in fat and should not be eaten more often, especially for patients with poor bile function. Peanuts and walnuts should be eaten 20g each time, cashews 8 to 10, each time to choose the same is good, not stacked consumption.

You can also make homemade snacks at homeIf you're not sure what you're looking for, you can bake some wheat or beans at home, such as fried wheat, fried barley, fried barley, fried soybeans, fried black beans and so on. Convenient to eat at home or go out with a little, both hunger, but also to replenish energy.

You can also prepare some fruits and vegetables as snacksThe fruit is made of cucumber, apple, grapefruit, orange, cherries, strawberries, mulberries and guava. If you are at home, you can cut a fruit plate and pick it with a toothpick and eat it slowly, or you can just take it in your hand and bite into it.

Whether you snack on nuts, baked and sautéed wheat beans or fruits, you should pay attention to moderation and not eat them uncontrollably as a snack, but preferably as an inter-meal or extra meal between meals. Neither lose your appetite, but also do not affect blood sugar control.

Thanks for the invite.

First of all, I have to say that theoretically, diabetics can eat anything as long as they control their total daily calorie intake, but in actual diet, in order to make blood sugar stable, we will choose low glycemic index foods. As a snack, some of the small foods sold on the market, such as cookies and so on are not suitable for diabetics to eat, even if you choose sugar-free food is not recommended to consume, because they contain calories is still very high, if it is really craving to eat some of them, you need to deduct the amount of the corresponding staple food, so diabetic patients want to snack, it is recommended to consume a number of fruits that have a low glycemic index, such as persimmons, apples (suggested) Eating the national light apple), plums, kiwi, apricots, grapefruit, oranges and so on. But these are only relatively can eat some, also can not eat more haha, to control the amount, closely monitor blood sugar.

The principle of the diabetic diet is to control carbohydrate intake, so when it comes to meal replacements and snacks, a number of low-carb, high-nutrient-density healthy foods are ideal for diabetics in moderation.

Meal replacements and snacks suitable for diabetics:

1. Roughage products.

Roughage, also known as whole grains, is less processed and retains higher nutrients compared to refined rice and white flour, with higher levels of dietary fiber, B vitamins, and vitamin E. Consumption of foods rich in dietary fiber can, to a certain extent, avoid excessive fluctuations in blood glucose, which is suitable for diabetics to control blood glucose well. Adequate B vitamins for diabetic patients can maintain the normal metabolism of sugar, fat and amino acids in the body, as well as maintain the normal nervous system, to avoid and alleviate peripheral neuritis caused by diabetes. Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect, by scavenging free radicals in the body and play a role in preventing lipid peroxidation, so as to block the causative factors of a variety of chronic diseases and reduce the probability of diabetes complications.

Diabetic patients can use coarse grain buns, mixed grain rice, mixed grain porridge as daily staple food, but also between meals with a small amount of whole grain bread as a snack, generally controlled in half a slice can be.

2. Low GI (glycemic index) fruits that contain more fruit acids.

It's not that diabetics can't eat any fruit at all; after all, fruit can provide us with an abundance of vitamin C, carotene and potassium, among many other nutrients. Apples, peaches, oranges, grapefruit, pears and other fruits are suitable for diabetics to eat in moderation. According to their own situation, the daily consumption of fruit will be controlled between 50-100g, can be divided into morning and afternoon two times to eat, and avoid the time close to the meal, so as not to make the intake of carbohydrates is too centralized, to meal or two hours after the meal to eat fruit is appropriate.

3. Soy products.

Dried tofu, soybean skin, soy milk, can be an ideal snack for diabetics. Some diabetic patients due to glucose metabolism disorders, energy supply is insufficient, resulting in protein breakdown for energy supply, but also due to insulin insufficiency, protein synthesis is slowed down, catabolism hyper metabolism, it is more likely to occur in the body of the phenomenon of protein deficiency. Soybean products are rich in vegetable protein content, high quality, very suitable for diabetic patients to eat, daily consumption of 50g of soybean products as a snack or dishes on the table ingredients, are a good choice. Diabetes mellitus with renal insufficiency, daily should control the intake of animal protein, like soy protein this quality plant protein is very ideal.

4. Nuts.

The fats in nuts are polyunsaturated, rich in essential fatty acids, and are high quality vegetable fats. Walnuts, pine nuts, batan wood, hazelnuts, peanuts, etc., can be chosen. In addition to the rich quality fat in nuts, they are also rich in B vitamins and vitamin E, as well as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and other minerals, so the nutrition is very comprehensive.

Nuts have a high fat content, and although a larger proportion of their fats are high-quality fats, overconsumption will still have an adverse effect on blood lipids, so the daily consumption of nuts should be limited to 25g or less.
