[Diabetes-Talk] snacking

[Jeanette Kutash]

Applesauce in small half cup portions; some of the no sugar added canned
fruits are easy to eat as they require very little chewing and can slide
down easily. Will you eventually have teeth, or is this permanent? If this
is permanent, I might talk with a nutritionist about learning how to grind
or puree fruit or vegetables, keeping in mind you want some flavor as well.

I have sometimes taken protein powder and a cup of almond milk and some ice
cubes, put them in a blender, and used this as a snack. 

There is also a slimfast which is made for diabetics which can be made in a
blender with small amounts of blueberries, 1/2 cup frozen and ice cubes, two
or three, and a cup of almond or skim milk.

Hello once more everyone,


As you all know, I am in the process of eating better. It's going rather 
slow. But I know to expect this. I didn't do too well with this at the 
beginning of the week. But for the last 2 days it has gone much better. 
I have already started seeing changes in my blood sugar. This makes me 
very happy.


So I was wondering, what are some snacks you all enjoy?

Nothing we have here really is much good. It is a lot of junk food. 
Although, we do have some pretzels. But I don't know how good those are, 
to eat.


I am looking for snacks that don't contain a lot of nuts, or that aren't 
seeds and nuts in general, as I do not have teeth. I can eat many things 
without teeth. But nuts and seeds are rather difficult. So those are out.


What do you all think? I would love to hear some snack options you all 
might enjoy.


Also, I have noticed in the last few days, sense I have started eating 
smaller portions, that I get hungry faster.

How can I possibly help with this, without undoing the work I am really 
putting in to this?


Thank you so much for all the help and support. I honestly do not know 
what I would do without you all. You have been a huge help, and support.


Terri
