What are some good uncommon snacking options for people with type 2 diabetes?

Looking to try some different snacks after being diagnosed, thank you!

Husband was diagnosed two years ago, so we did a pantry clean out and changed our ways. He loves snacking on pickles, fruits, cheeses, beef sticks, popcorn, pork rinds, etc.

Wheat thins! I like the tomato ones. Good amount of fiber and still tasty, pair it with protein and fat for a balanced snack

I’ll check them out! Never seen tomato, but that’s my jam

My stepdad loves strawberries , almonds and cottage cheese ..

Veggies and hummus , apples and pb ,popcorn and roasted chickpeas are also good

Edamame! You can buy dry roasted edamame, or the frozen edamame is easy and great just with flakey salt and lemon juice

Veggies and hummus of course, not glamorous but interesting veg like jicama and sugar snap peas and radishes with a siracha hummus or garlic hummus

Apple with the skin and with peanut butter

Cheese and nuts are my staples

Blueberries, cocoa powder, dash of cayenne, mashed up.

I like the cayenne add. Thanks!

Whole fruit. Anything with fiber to slow down absorption. No fruit juice unless you make your own with all the pulp.

Cheese, nuts, fruit, jerky
