I am a type 2 diabetic. Dr told me to keep snacks to 15 carbs. Can anyone give me some ideas?

    Hey, the Smartfood (cheesy popcorn) has 100 calorie snack packs and they have 9 carbs per bag... or you could go with cucumber or celery.

    Total or per? Here is what ive seen from many type 2 over the yrs (my father as well).
    Mine... 1 or 2 apples... hard cheese (2 oz) and either lunch meat, or like 97 pistachios. Red only... I know I'm a kid at heart
    No carbs... no sugar... no fat.... 2 wks later binges and weight gain.
    The guidelines are so out dated.
    What works... and i did for my dad... low carbs... no sugar ... and all the fat & protein the could eat.
    Not only does it work... but it stays off.
    Ill try to get the research or links to it so you & others can make up your own minds.
    Hope this helps... good luck
    UPDATE:
    Sorry for the first post.. was on my phone. Also I know you cant eat fat.. or should not at first, if your pancreas is no longer doing its job. So I guess you have to figure out where you are at and what are your options? Again assuming your at Type2 by the nature of the question.
    So here is some info for you.
    First here is the stats for the NIH regarding Diabetes Link Here

    Second: here is some new research showing that you can get back to normal and not just get by Link Here

    Lastly here is the main Reddit Community for you... they can be hard on people, but for your own good.

    With my father we got his pancreas working right again, and when Keto style on the diet and hes good now. Drs though we were F-ing with them.

    Good luck

    Whisps cheese snacks are good. I have to pre-portion them out though or I eat too many at one time! They are 1 carb for about 23 of them. That is a decent size serving. I usually eat about 12 as a snack. Pumpkin seeds are good too. I also have Wow butter on a stalk of celery sometimes.
