[Diabetes-talk] Cereals and snacks I can eat?

Some of us may beg to differ on that assertion! (smirk)

Sunflower butter is great and no difference in taste than peanut butter.
That's what we use since my son was born, and he loves it. You can find
sunflower butter at most markets. We have even bought it at Target before.

Hi Terri,
 I understand your frustration with trying to adapt your diet for diabetes.
Because I have to adapt my diet for more than just diabetes alone. I pretty
much avoid cereal completely. I really enjoy plain Greek yogurt, add in some
fresh fruit, and some Truvia, and I find it very filling. I avoid chemicl
sweeteners, and stick to either cane sugar Truvia or Stevia, which are a lot
less likely to spike sugars. I tend to avoid bananas because of the charch,
and pineapple is pretty high sugar wise. Cottage cheese is another good
source of protein. I really enjoy cottage cheese and sliced peaches. If you
are a soda drinker, there's a brand out there called Nevia which uses Stevia
to sweeten the soda. I've found it at Whole Foods, not sure who ebbpe
carries it, and yes they do have Coke, although I'm not a coke fan myself.
If you enjoy sweet tea, could you possibly brew your own and then add truvia
or stevia or cane sugar for the sweetener? And maybe see if over time you
can enjoy and less sweet. Watch out for high fructose corn syrup, it's in a
lot of products these days, and isn't healthy. I don't know where you live,
but if you have a local Yhgurt Land, it's a good place for a sweet tooth,
because it's frozen yogurt, so a lot healthier than ice cream places.
Sometimes, it can take some playing around to see what spikes your sugar and
what doesn't.  For instance, I know that popcorn doesn't spike my sugar all
that much.
Also, a good alternative to peanut butter that I like is almund butter.  I
also discovered recently that sunflower butter exists too, but I don't have
much experience with that one.  Hope these things help.
Doula Hope this
