snack ideas that require no insulin

[grace girl]

I need some ideas; I find that I often want a snack in the afternoon, but I prefer not to take insulin then. I do it if I have to, but ideally I prefer to keep insulin to meals if I can.
I've had nuts, raw veggies, etc...but I'm getting bored. And I really don't like eating meat as a snack.
Any ideas?

I hope you get some good ideas, I could do with some too. I only have two:

- canned tuna, those little flavoured cans are very filling, some are no/next to no carb at all. Although the sodium content could be a worry.

- Cooked vegetables!

Oh, and water.

edit: Have you checked out GI lists and gone for the very bottom? Some particular foods, often things like lentils, beans, etc, may have a very slow impact on your BG, enough to skip the dose (or keep it extremely low, if that's still useful).

edit 2:which I just realized will probably be more veggies which may not be what you are after, but at least they might open your variety of veggies :)

Pork scratching or beef jerky :D I feel your pain, I wish I had a few better ideas.

Sugar-free Jello.
You could also try making a Sugar-free Kool Aid slushy.
(Sorry but it's hot and humid here and my brain is thinking cool and refreshing)

String cheese or hard boiled eggs.

Celery with cream cheese or peanut butter spread on it.;)

Pickled eggs, hot dog, sausage.

Cook some chicken and make a chicken salad with mayo.

Today I had a bag of pea pods. Then I was given a large bowl of whole strawberries because they were too bitter for my coworker.

I personally like sliced turkey wrapped around string cheese. Popcorn also is pretty low carb for the amount. Most are 5-6 grams per cup.

Peas with soy sauce.


Oh and coffee and more coffee and then decaffinated coffee, maybe tea afterwards if I feel like it later.

[matingara]

what about "no sugar added" chocolate or Lindt 85% dark chocolate.

the latter is not ZERO carb.

-cooked soy beans either plain or with a pinch of garlic sea salt
-i know you said you've had nuts, but have you tried a mix of almonds and craisins? mmmm, craisins have a few carbs but if eaten in a small amount along with the almonds, it makes a perfect snack amount
-Diamond brand soda crackers...they're 12 grams carbs each packet
-or apricots...they're perfect sized perfection:top:
