Choose a source of protein

Pay attention to carbohydrates

Combine protein with foods with a low glycemic index such as vegetables and whole grains.

Avoid hidden roads

hidden sugar is found in protein bars, flavored yogurt, and processed snacks.

Healthy fats

Use good fats from nuts and avocados to prevent spikes in blood sugar. Avoid trans fats in fried or packaged snacks.

Pay attention to portion sizes

Even healthy snacks can increase blood sugar levels if consumed too much. Eat small, balanced portions.

Check the fiber content

High-fiber snacks for people with diabetes are best because they are good for slow glucose uptake and improve satiety.

Avoid processed snacks

Many protein snacks are processed and contain salt. These are not considered healthy snacks, not good for diabetics.
