Are store-bought low-carb snacks suitable for type 1 diabetics?
Patient's Query
Hello I'm a type 1 diabetic, I personally like snacks that are low carb. How do I know if a (diabetic friendly) store bought snack is good for me? My insulin to carb ratio is 1:15
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Diabetic snacking needs care. Always check the total carb content on labels. For stable blood sugar, pick low-carb options. Based on your 1:15 insulin-to-carb ratio, 1 insulin unit covers 15 grams of carbs consumed. So portion your snack accordingly. However, drink water promptly if you experience excessive thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and possible high blood sugar signs. Then test your levels and adjust insulin per doctor's guidelines.
