Healthy snacks are great for everyone. But they are especially important for children with diabetes. Proper snacking can provide energy between meals and help manage blood sugar levels.

What Makes a Snack Diabetes-Friendly?

Snacks can supply a significant amount of your child's daily calories, so make them count!

Feed your little ones something that's low-carb and packed with nutrients:

✓ ≤ 15 carbs

✓ ≤ 200 calories

✓ Protein to support growth & satiety

✓ Fiber to aid digestion & stunt BG spikes

✓ Vitamins and minerals for overall health
