Apples eaten with peanut butter
People with diabetes can choose a small apple of about 100 g or half an apple to eat with a spoonful of peanut butter to create a longer feeling of fullness. Apples belong to the group of fruits with low glycemic index, so they have little impact on blood sugar levels.
Half an apple contains about 14 g of carbohydrates, 2 g of fiber and almost no fat. Meanwhile, one spoon of peanut butter, about 16 g, supplements good fat along with more than 3 g of protein, suitable for dinner snacks.
Greek yogurt combined with berries
Unsweetened Greek yogurt supports gut and cardiovascular health, and is also suitable for people who need to control blood sugar. About 100 g of pure Greek yogurt provides nearly 10 g of protein but the sugar content is quite low.
A handful of mixed seeds
A cup of unsalted mixed nuts can provide a fairly abundant amount of protein, healthy fats and fiber. In addition to supporting blood sugar stabilization, nuts also contain magnesium and antioxidants, contributing to improving sleep quality and limiting midnight naps. Some suitable options include almonds, walnuts or macadamia.
Whole poppy
Popcorn is a whole grain containing a lot of fiber, which helps create a feeling of fullness without causing blood sugar to rise sharply. This is a suitable snack to use when watching movies or relaxing in the evening. However, you should limit adding butter, sugar or milk because it easily increases calories and affects blood sugar control.
Low-fat cheese
About 100 g of low-fat cheese provides nearly 24 g of protein, 7 g of fat and a fairly low amount of carbohydrates, so it does not cause blood sugar fluctuations. This dish also limits the risk of fat accumulation if eaten in reasonable amounts. You can use it with whole wheat bread or black bread to supplement fiber, support digestion and is good for the intestinal system.
Whole wheat bread sandwich with chicken
If you need a dish that helps you feel full for a long time in the evening, diabetics can choose half a whole wheat bread sandwiched with lettuce, tomatoes and about 50g of pan-fried chicken breast. Whole grains are digested slower, so they help maintain a feeling of fullness and limit blood sugar spikes. In addition, chicken also contains tryptophan - an amino acid that helps relax and sleep better.
