Packaged Snack Foods
Snacks like pretzels or crackers are made with refined flour and offer almost zero nutrients. What they do give you, though, is lots of fast-digesting carbs that increase your blood sugar levels almost instantly.
If you get hungry in between meals, it’s better to eat nuts or a few low-carb vegetables with an ounce of cheese.

S–t, I am in trouble
I have CHF, COPD, along with stage 2 diabetes on a stage 3 Kidney…….The relief that I have found for clearing my own throat in the morning has been orange juice or a diet coke. Coffee or Green Tea doesn’t work.
Yes, I used 60-65 units of insulin before breakfast and dinner. I’m a six foot tall male now weighing 254 pounds.
I’ve only been able to lose 8 pounds in 6 months. I love seafood, and I eat a rainbow of vegetables, prefer lean
pork and a good high protein steak now and then. Pasta is my downfall, but you threw for a loop with Fruit.
I’m just looking for a few more years. ( 2 triple AAA, 10 stents, cart art twice)(I did smoke, but stop 11 years ago)
Thanks for the article.

Thanks for the info. Wish my husband, who has type 2 diabetes, would read these. However, this helps with what I put on the dinner table.
