That's kind of high in carbs. Salsa is one of those things that needs to be
eaten in limited quantities. Of course, the amount of carbs really varies!
I seem to do best with a fresh salsa made of things like chopped tomato,
onion, peppers, etc.

What eaving TV smack food is good.
Small thin Pretzels? Penut Butter?




I often eat almonds (raw, unsalted) and some low-fat cheese. One of my
favorites is a bowl of fresh strawberries and blueberries with some plain
nonfat yogurt. This may sound strange, but I also snack on large quantities
of raw cauliflower. It has a "nutty" taste and texture when I just break
off small segments and eat while watching TV. As to peanut butter, that is
a rarity, but I will occasionally have peanut butter on Ezekiel toast (a
flourless bread made from sprouted grains). But pretzels? Never! They
were a favorite in my pre-diabetes day, but now I *never* eat *any* flour,
rice, pasta, potatoes, or added sugar (but I do obviously get sugar from
natural sources, such as fruit).

Newman's Own makes a high protein pretzel that I sometimes eat as a bedtime
snack. These along with a bit of cheese work well for me.

Like Julie, I have pretzels and peanut butter very
frequently, but can't manage most fruits. i can eat
small amounts of potato, rice and pasta. Snacks have
to be individually worked out, I think.

Yes, I think you're right that we need to individualize. For example, I can
eat old-fashioned oatmeal (and have a bowl almost every morning, with a
handful of fresh strawberries) and I can enjoy quite a lot of fruit,
especially berries. However, I avoid flour like the plague. My last
attempt was when I had a single slice of Oroweat whole wheat bread, and it
caused a major spike. If I avoid the "white stuff," I can keep my glucose
under control (averaging about 98) and have not needed any medication since
March of last year.

One of the snacks I've made, now and then, is to use the slicer to
waffle-slice carrots. Then sprinkle the slices with a little onion
powder, and a little salt.

All of a sudden you have a crisp, fresh snack!

However, since carrots are, as vegetables go, kind of sweet, it might be
good to see how they affect your bG.

I like baby carrots dipped in olive oil and coarse salt. I don't eat them
as a snack though. I'll have those for lunch with some protein.

No sugar added Edy's ice cream is good. Fairly low carb, low fat, and
tastes a lot like real ice cream.

So do I , but I have to watch how much or how often I eat it as it can
cause me to have gastric problems.

I don't think rhubarb bothers me, but then I eat it rarely. Maybe once
every 5 years or so.
