1 egg has 1 gram of carbohydrates and a little above 65 calories. This makes it a perfect and healthy snack for diabetics. Furthermore, it is high in protein, which supplies the body with enough energy to keep going all day.
With hard-boiled eggs, blood sugar spikes can be prevented.

Ensure you select a low-fat variety of corn. This keeps your calorie and carb intake under control.

11 – Vanilla Greek Yoghurt Bar
As a diabetic, I often crave sweetened bars. Thankfully, I stumbled on this Greek yogurt bar and it has become my all-time favorite snack bar for brunch.
You should try it out as well.
1 bar consists of:
- 140 calories
- 12 grams of carbohydrates
- 10 grams of sugar
- 1 gram of fiber
- 8 grams of protein
It also consists of probiotics which are good for enhancing insulin sensitivity.
12 – Oatmeal and Berries
This isn’t just a normal breakfast meal. Oatmeal and berries work for diabetic patients. It’s a sumptuous snack idea. Oatmeal has less than 15 grams of carbohydrates, which is healthy enough for you.
Top your oatmeal with your favorite berry. This spices up its flavor – giving you the best treat ever.
13 – Low-fat mozzarella and Tomatoes
Rather than dressing this combo with your favorite topping, it’s recommended to use just olive oil or balsamic vinegar and a dash of pepper for a spiced-up taste.
This snack is best eaten at home. For work environments, hard-boiled eggs or honey-roasted pistachios are great.
I truly hope these snacks are to your liking! Believe me, it’s not because we have diabetes that we have to eat poorly, which is why I introduced you to some Keto recipes at the beginning of this article.
