Diabetes Snack Carb Amounts

Below is a useful foundation guide to the amount of carbs in the foods you are eating. You can work from this Map or create your own personal one based on the snacks you eat. This Map compares a small number of snacks and by "snacks" what is meant is food eaten between main meals to help maintain a steady and even blood sugar level as opposed to big sugar rises. (There are of course many more snack options than this map shows) Personally, I find it useful to have in mind a snack carb figure of about 10 to 12g so that I know roughly what impact food is having on blood sugar levels. This figure may of course be too much or too little for you - so you will need to discover your own ideal amount
