23 Healthy Snacks To Balance Your Blood Sugar Levels (5 of 5)

Jerky

Your typical jerky can be similar to the beef sticks where there is ample protein but a load of sodium too. Instead of going with that, we’d suggest looking for Moku Plant-Based Jerky. This is jerky that’s made from mushrooms which have a number of benefits when managing diabetes.

One of which, as that study points out is they contain polysaccharides, which support a healthy gut which reduces insulin resistance.

Lupini Beans

A bean you might not be all that familiar with but one that provides a lot of benefits to those with diabetes or high blood sugar levels. Of course, there are snacking versions of these beans and one brand that’s done is Brami. The Brami Italian snacking lupini beans contain 50 percent more protein than chickpeas and 80 percent fewer calories than almonds. Paired up with zero net carbs and it’s an option you’ll love.

Dill Pickle Spears

The American Heart Association (AHA) suggests that people with diabetes limit their sodium to 1,500 milligrams per day. While that’s reasonable, it can mean for those who love pickles to cut back on them. After all, pickles usually contain over 300 milligrams of sodium.

For those who love pickles, don’t worry about giving it up though. Thanks to Grillo’s Pickles, they’ve made dill pickle spears that cut the sodium intake down to 200 per serving, making it a smart choice if you want pickles.
