An apple a day keeps the doctor away, or so the saying goes. A fresh apple is a suitable snack for people suffering from diabetes as it contains carbs and fibre, and is a good source of vitamin C. An apple as a snack helps to curb hunger between meals while adding nutritional value to the body. In fact, the skin of an apple is full of antioxidants which are essential to the human body. Apples also contain phytonutrients which help regulate blood sugar levels. Diabetics are therefore advised to carry an apple and snack on it in-between meals. Almonds and dried mixed nuts A mix of almonds and dried nuts is a tasty and crunchy snack fit for both diabetics and non-diabetics as almonds have the ability to help regulate blood sugar level and make you feel full. Also, peanuts,walnuts, and Brazilian nuts all have great nutritional value for diabetics while the unsaturated fat in nuts help lower the bad cholesterol in the body. Banana, berry, and raisins smoothie People with type two diabetes are recommended to add raisins to their smoothies. Raisins in fact contain anti-oxidants and carbohydrates, and do not raise blood sugar in people with this type of diabetes. Bananas and berries are also beneficial for people with diabetes and are therefore a good addition to your daily smoothie. Cheese and whole-wheat snacks Dairy products have a low glycemic index, which rises or goes down depending on the food one consumes. Cheese with whole-wheat snack therefore is a balanced snack for diabetics. Pumpkin flesh and pumpkin seeds Pumpkin seeds are rich in iron, zinc, manganese, vitamin K and magnesium. Pumpkins assist in the regulation of blood sugar as well as helping to repair damaged pancreas cells, which decreases the dependence on insulin.
