Several Snacks A Day For Diabetic

I’ve always thought that as a type 2 diabetic.. i would need to be eating constantly .. but just smaller meals.. to regulate the blood sugar.  I even stopped doing my free online auctions because i thought i needed to have a snack .. and didn’t dare miss one in case it causes my sugar level to go too low.  But i just found out that things are different now .. because the way the new insulins work, one doesn’t need to do that no more.

“If you have type 2 diabetes, take oral medications, and have low blood glucose at random times, you don’t need a snack. You need to lower your meds,”

It is also good to know that if you are hungry in between meals.. and need a snack, it is best to eat non-carb snacks such as raw vegies, cottage cheese, unsalted nuts or a cheese but all these also means that there are calories involved.
