- Here are some of my favourite low carb snacks! All snacks are 8 g of carbs or lower :)
What are your favourite low carb snacks?
App I use for nutrition values:
"Nutrients - Nutrition Facts" itunes.apple.com/ca/app/nutri...
NOTE: I got this App a long time ago and it is unfortunately quite expensive now. A couple free options you could try: itunes.apple.com/ca/app/carb-...

Hi Michelle. I was diagnosed with T1D last week. It's my first couple days out of the hospital and I was worried at first about the diet change. I haven't changed the type of food I eat so much, but I had to portion it much smaller than I'm used to. I was worried I'd have to fee hungry all the time. This video have been so great in helpibg me manage my cravings. Thank you so much!
Hi Michelle when u r free please call me.
Cheese is my go to ! Sugar free jello , carrots , peanuts are super low carb , walnuts and unflavored turkey jerky
Oliver225 S. Carrots have quite a few carbs
Me to I'm a girl by the way I'm Fatima
Bad Badger Retired Thailand Life yes they do
@@badbadgerretiredthailandli981 yah I love carrots but it can affect it quite a bit
I love cheese but been trying to cut back. its the best when you dont want to raise sugar levels. I used to eat a lot of jello but sugar alcohols affect my digestion.
She’s not kidding about those raw almonds. Those puppies are very filling. It only takes a tiny bit of them and you will feel nice and full.

This is my first video I've watched of your's. I wish I had seen it a long time ago. My husband is type 2 dietetic and we are learning everyday what he should eat. He's doing okay so far but good education about diabetes is number one key factor. Thank you so much for sharing and I hit subscribe and thumbs up. Your a great speaker that doesn't drag out video's. Again thank you and God bless.
Hi Michelle. Thank you for sharing these valuable snacking tips. I can’t wait to try them out.
I'm only pre-diabetic right now and I've been looking for easy low carb, low sugar snacks to eat, and so this video was a pretty big help, thanks!
Informative video, and loved your personality, kept me engaged. Good job
I’ve been diabetic for 8 years and never knew that we had to subtract fiber
I am a newbie and luckily have a very informative dietitian/ diabetic consultant at my dr office . She is so awesome. Ask to see a dietitian 💖
i think for everyone its different, subtracting fiber doesn't work for me
@@river5568 Yah it doesnt really make a difference for me honestly
Diabetic for 12 years here. Why have I only found out about this now wtf
Alright so I googled it and apparently in Europe where I am, and probably some other places too, it's already subtracted out. In America it isn't for some reason
Thanks this helps! Taking care of my grandma and I was running out of ideas
I like dried seaweed and pork rinds. Both are 0 carbs. I also like pieces of cabbage leaves w/ ponzu sauce. Japanese restaurants like to serve that like chips and dip before meals.
I like the vegetable chips idea I’ve never seen those before they look good. Thanks for the help!
The are addictive haha!
Very useful video Michelle. I go for cheese, potato chips and nuts (usually roasted almonds). Thankyou.
One of my favorite low carb snacks is pork rinds
i’m glad you made this!! it gave me so many great ideas!❤️
Thank you Laina :)
I also go for almonds when I'm at work and want something to nibble on but carrots&hummus is my absolute favourite! Nice video!
Thanks so much :)
Thank you Michelle if you remember me I'm Fatima and we met each other at McMaster University so this will really help me because I really like low-carb snacks
My nutritionist and Dr verified to me that for type 2 (I didn’t ask for type 1) we are NOT supposed to subtract the fiber. Type 2 diabetics please be careful with some info out there. Look at the “Total Carb” that is what’s important. Fiber (as well as protein) helps your body digest the food in a way that it will not spike sugar as fast or as bad as a food item with no protein or fiber but fiber will not “negate” or magically “cancel carbs”. That info / calculation is used by those who are doing Keto Diet, not for diabetics!
This is a huge help because I'm newly diagnosed and I've been struggling with snacks XD
I do a lot of fish like tuna and mayo or if I'm realy lazy open a can of sardines
My boyfriend (17) just got diagnosed with diabetes and food is my love language, time to get learning.
Great ideas! I like cheese and nuts for low carb snacks, and also will sometimes eat half an avocado out of the peel with salt on top. It's good!
Oooo the avocado is a great idea! I will have to try that :)
I used to make a low carb chocolate mousse. Whipped egg whites and heavy cream. Add some stevia and cocoa. Takes some time to prepare and you need to refrigerate for a day it but it's as tasty as any dessert. I don't remember the recipe - it was from an old Atkins book - but I'm sure you can find one online. Put walnuts on top.
pickles string cheese sugar free jello are a cpl of my favorite
The vary good for me even when I have it this is good am going to try this I love it!
Im broad line and im just starting to work out starting again tomorrow healthy eating
I LOVE THIS VIDEO !! I’m with you on the almonds 🤘🏼
Thanks Dave!! Yes, they are the BEST :D
Great snacks!! Your videos are so helpful!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you find them helpful :)
thanks for the snack ideas, helps a lot 😊
No problem! I'm glad it was helpful :)
Thank u for this video, I just recently found out I'll be needing to take insulin and trying to find foods that are good for me to eat
Oh okay. Did not know we could extract the Fiber. Thanks for pointing it out.
I stick to meat, cheese & veg mostly. Diagnosed LADA 7 mo ago, still honeymooning.
thats good. It just gets old after awhile
Wow! I didn’t know hardbites were that low in carbs. Hardbites is local for me so i will try it. Great snack suggestions.
This was very helpful. I didn’t even know you could minus fibre
I eat olives, bell peppers, cheese, pickles, and soon will be looking for those beet chips.
I think I may be diabetic (I have 90% of symptoms) but I’m terrified of needles so I don’t want to get diagnosed and have to inject insulin into myself.. thank you for this, I’m trying to fix my body naturally
I'm the exact same way. I have extreme needle phobia, like super extreme. I got diagnosed 12 years ago as T2D when undergoing chemo for lymphoma that spread to my lungs, kidney,pancreas. I would never test myself because I couldn't push the trigger for dinner pokes, but could alternate site test. Then my insurance quit covering the only model listed for alternate site testing and I feel way out of control up to a 12.1 a1c. Finally got a dexcom g6 and that has helped tremendously with helping me change dust and exercise to get down to 8.6 and lose a lot of weight.
Please don't play around though! If you haven't or have been tested and getting treatment, work hard!! My cholesterol levels were good, but this year, 2 weeks before my 46th birthday, I had a heart attack. Went to the ER and they did an angiogram and put in an emergency balloon pump and did a quad bypass the next day. Dr said it was because of poor control of sugars. They forced me into insulin while I was in the hospital for over a week. They started the injections and I was suprised, I barely felt them!!!
Now I've been on insulin (MDI) for a few months and my most recent a1c came back at 6.2!! I'm so needle phonics, but I told my doctor I don't want to go back on the pills, I want to stay on insulin to help keep my numbers as low as possible to reduce my risks as much as possible from further complications. If I'm later able to greatly reduce my insulin by continuing my exercise /diet and losing more weight, great, but I'm starting on until I would know for a fact I can easily get an a1c under 6.5!!
I use the 32x4 needless and maybe 90% off time I don't feel it.
I'm now looking at getting a tandem pump to incorporate my dexcom since omnipod 5 isn't approved for those of us who are T2D yet, to further reduce my pokes.
So awesome ! Esp for gestational mamas💕
I LOVE ALL your videos. I'm Type 2 but your content helps so much. Have to tell you how beautiful you are. I just got a Freestyle Libre 2 a couple of weeks ago and love it. It's my first CGM and love not being blind to my blood glucose anymore. Thanks again Love you!.
Why is it that when I see other diabetics in foreign countries they always calculate the carbs and the doctor fiber in the US we don’t do that?
Nice video very informative 👍🏽
I've been trying out this brand called "KNOW foods" whenever I'm feeling something sweet to snack on. Their cookies are 4 net carbs! Their key ingredient is allulose as an artificial sweetener & to be honest though, I don't know a lot about it. But hey, the cookies are pretty good
Yes, I've heard a lot about KNOW foods. I would love to try it one day :)
Thank you 😊
my fav low carb snack is definitely raw carrots and tiny snack cucumbers x
I like the low carb almonds Cheese. Thanks for the video
You are very welcome :)
Great ideas, thank you Michelle. I can also suggest miso soup - its a yummy filler :)
Poppadoms are a great low carb snack, there’s only 3.5 grams of carbs in one. So one with hummus or two just plain make a great snack.
Cool! I've never tried those before!
Thanks for telling me how I can control my blood sugar as I am nearly 82 and my A1C is 6.7. I have always been able to eat exactly what I like and now I must leave out the sugar laden foods I love.
How
I love almonds, cheese and baby carrots. And it's always a good idea for us to have a low carb snacks. But those kind of chips in Italy we don't find them. But we have italian cheese really good and lots of different types. Ciao 😘😘😘
Yes you have MUCH better cheese in Italy than we have here in Canada haha!
Michelle Lord 💖
Woah never heard of subtracting fibers. Maybe that info hasn't reached Europe yet lol. Good video! :)
Shaxi I’ve never heard of that either. I’m not sure it’s true lol trying to fact check that
You're really not supposed to do that if you're type one, you're still eating the food and you're still not producing the insulin to cover it
Espero que te ajude www.makepages.com.br/r/ACJ6881119
Hi in Europe it is already subtracted. The United States does not put net on nutrition labels. Europe does.
I'm pretty sure than net carbs are already what is listed in Europe.
Is there someplace I can go to see all this information in hard copy for meal planning purposes. I’m so sorry you’re going thru this. Mine is for my 63 yr old husband.
I’m new to all of this and I’m finding it a bit overwhelming. I inject 4 times a day and sometimes 5. This is a very informative video. Thanks!
It's a lot to get the hang of, hang in there! :)
Aww i feel you my oldest daughter 11 yrs old was just diagnosed with type 1 she is already tired of having it. She's only had it since middle of March this year
@@chaist94 yes it was she went into diabetic ketoacidosis an's ended up in children's hospital in my state so that's how we found out. It came on suddenly too . We even had her at drs and for blood work right before all of this
@@chaist94 yep i honestly didnt until it happened to my daughter
@@chaist94 so true
Back in the 70s a diabetic nurse told me to eat pickles. To this day I love pickles.
Thanks!
Are the chips available online? I’m in Dallas.
Can you please give low carb suggestions for a 5 year old diabetic? Thank you!
I like your CZcams channel I have been a diabetic for years I was type 2 I lost a bunch of weight I thought it would go away then I got re-diagnosed to type 1.5 I was on insulin but now I’m not cause my blood sugars was to low
This was very helpful! i just wondered what was the name of the app you used for the nutrition values? It seems to be pretty helpful!
Thanks Sabrina! The nutrition app I use is called "Nutrients"! I linked it in the video description along with a couple others that look good.
Super tq my husband have diabetes. Tq soooooo much from tamilnadu
Is any cheese. Like. White or yellow kraft American cheese for example. Very low to nothing in carbs? Or just sum cheeses. Thank you.
Great video. To be honest, since moving on the pump I don’t really pay attention to how carby my snacks are because I don’t need to do injections. My ultimate “low “ carb snack is my own homemade zucchini brownie which is so low in carb, it’s amazing. Great video 😊🤗
Thank you! Oh my goodness you must make a video on these brownies!! I'm very interested :) !
hahah thanks. ive done 2 cooking videos , they were like my first ever videos, carb free pizza and cloud bread and it takes so much time but I will try to do it at some point ( maybe during Easter holidays) hahaha also they are low in carb in comparison to normal brownies but I still need to bolus for it. Well, I bolus for everything over 6g of net carbs. Anyway, thanks so much for this video and I cant wait for your next video.
Hi Michelle!
I'm 20 years old and was diagnosed with T1 two weeks ago. Your videos have been helping me stay positive and productive. Since you have 15+ years of experience with all this, how do you handle the depressive luls? I used to stress eat before I was diagnosed and now it feels like eating and food have become much more restrictive. I'm worried that if God forbid something bad happens in my life I'm going to go off of my diabetes regimen and risk complications. How have you persevered through the bad times while still keeping a regimen?
Thank you for your videos, I look forward to each one you post. :)
Hi Crystal! Thanks so much for reaching out. It is hard to take care of diabetes when you are going through a hard time or dealing with stressful life situations. Honestly, the best way to get through tough times and keep on track is to find a support system. There is an AMAZING online T1D community on Instagram. You can meet so many T1Ds from all over the world, and everyone is super supportive and willing to lend an ear when you are having a rough time. I find that connecting with other T1Ds really increases my motivation for managing my diabetes. You could also find a local support group through JDRF, but overall, having other T1Ds to talk to is key! :)
I fall off my regimen all the time ☹️ I’m also afraid of complications in the long run. Best advise is to stick to your carb ratio and stay compliant with your insulin intake. At first, it may be super overwhelming, but just make sure you take your insulin. Don’t restrict yourself, just account for the carbs you intake. Eventually, a healthy lifestyle will follow.
Thank you for your response Michelle! :) Would you be able to make a video one day about how you eyeball food, and carb counting when you go out to eat? I understand a LOT of the intuition comes with time, but if you have any tips for social outings and carb counting that would be awesome. :) All the best!
Thank you for your response! I just checked out your channel and it looks awesome. :)
Thank you 😊 I totally agree with Michelle. I learned so much from the T1D on IG. Def changes my life 💙
I'm new to insulin as a T2D after heart issues caused by the diabetes. They didn't clarify it to me in regards to insulin usage as they just basically were like here are pens we have been using on you in the hospital, use 2 units per carb serving (15 carbs).
I heard what you are saying about net carbs, but when I was hanging by just diet /exercise and pills, they told me to look at total, not meet carbs.
Is this different when you are doing insulin?
Yes love this vid!! Hardbite chips are my weaknesss! they're too good. Also totally gonna download that app, it looks so much easier to use then my fitness pal (thats what I've been using forever).
Oh my gosh they are addictive haha!!
Hi Michelle. Quick question. What if the amount of fibre is higher than the amount of carbs is in this snack or meal?
Good Information
What’s a 4 or 5 cause my daughters machine doesn’t read like that..if she’s really low it would be under 50and a normal for her would be around 140.. I know it’s not perfect but it’s better than upper 200/300 or even 400
My 11 yr old daughter is type 1 . I tried giving her almonds she didn't like them ugh she's very picky. Can you do a video on picky eaters snacks for type 1kids
Great content
I sadly can’t do this anymore even carb free things effect my blood sugar now .. it’s sucks being brittle diabetic.
Hello Michelle!!! I am new to your channel. My daughter IS 13 YEARS OLD AND SHE Is in the process of changing from Novorapid to Fiasp. Can you please telle your experience with your FIASP , YOUR CARB RADIO with fiasp? Do you inject less fiasp compared to Novorapid ? Thank you for your videos I watched them all already, please tell me AS SOON AS YOU CAN MY DAUGHTER WILL THNK YOU A LOT
how is she getting the carb amount can anyone pls tell
Does this work for type 2 diabetics
where do you find the chips? My favorite is cheese with a little fruit.
L Jens google Hardbite. Kinda expensive but I may give it a go!
walnuts r my favorite :P heheheh they r sooo goood that video is also nice what is that device u r using to calculate carbs
Ooo walnut are great! I use an app called "Nutrients" on my phone :)
yeah i saw that on screen but i was asking about that device in that video on 4:15 for carrots
Cheese crackers n chedder and Ritz crackers with tuna salad my favorites
Is it still doable? Or infrertile?
Thankyou for sharing Michelle. These snacks were my favorites to begin with. For some reason I kinda believed they were a no no except the almonds.
Wat is the recommended carb intake daily for a person with diabetes
Everyone's carb intake is different.
What is the app you have for the nutritional values?
It's called "Nutrients". I linked the app in the description :)
Great snack ideas! I need to try out those parsnip chips!
Thanks Tomas!! Yes, they are so good (plus I got them on sale for $3!!).
Nice video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you thought about - Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (just google it)? It is a great one off guide for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got excellent success with it.
How about roasted peanuts Michelle? Are they good for low carb snack?
Absolutely! A great option :)
I've never ever been told to take the fibre off of my bolus before giving insulin :l
I've always been told to do that. Maybe you should ask your diabetes educators next time you see them.
It depends what country you are in. I think that the US uses total carbs which includes fiber. In australia food lists carbohydates and fibre separately.
Almond. Beetroot chip
Cheese. Carrots and hummus
Parsnip chip
I can only eat soft foods, any ideas?
Gerber baby food
My problem is when I eat those beet chips I literally can’t stop at just one serving
Haha yessss, I hear yah!
What’s the name of the app you use to count your carbs ?
Christopher Haist thank you
4:35 whats the app called. Please
nutrients
I was told by my endo not to go by net carbs.. like, the total carb count is what I should go by
Then that's what you should do! Always follow what your endo says! That's what I do :)
I would def. say cheese if my favorite go to snack when I am high. I like to take a cheesestick or two and melt them in the microwave and I just eat the melted cheese. I know it's weird, but it's so goey. does anyone else do this??? I would not bolus for anything under ten unless I was high and needed to do a correction bolus, but then again I am on a pump so no shots!! Thanks for all of the info you are sharing, it helps a lot!!
I am diabetic A2 am liveing whath it !!
I am diabetes type one and what's sad is that I dont like any of these snacks
( besides carrots 😅)
Evin Hasso I have type one too!
Espero que te ajude www.makepages.com.br/r/ACJ6881119
Can you please tell the app name
It is in the description box of the video :), it's called "Nutrients"
Almonds also controls our sugar level 🙌
I'm 33 and been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes just two days ago. It's a little scary.
Stay strong. Follow the diet and it will help you so much. My hubby is a Type 2 and I am a Type 1... Weight watchers is a great diet for Type 2 - It is just a healthy diet.
Could you list your scale please and thanx.
Hey! I listed it in the video description :). My scale is over 10 years old, so I linked the newest version on my scale.
Sorry, I didn't see it.
Hi ,it's a very useful and informative video. Thanks Michelle. Actually I need your advice about my condition at this moment. I was on 42 for Hba1c test last year and my very recent test is showing I have 69 ☹in my Hba1c test. The nurse also said my fasting blood was 8.6 . She said I need to soon do another test to see if incase I am type 1 ! I have a genetic history of type 2. I had gestational diabetes as well(2018). I am extremely stressed about the fact that my readings are sooo high !! The nurse said my BMI was normal . Do you think I may have type 1 diabetes actually? I had a lot of stress last few months. Also I used to eat a few biscuits everyday with tea which I feel extremely guilty for at this moment. Do you think I might have smt else as an underlying cause ? I also have been very emotional last few months , do you know if thyroid problems trigger diabetes ? I dont know if I have thyroid problems , too. I am so so worried I just wanted to ask for your advice on this situation. Thanks a lot for your patience. I know my text is too long maybe. Sorry about that. Kindest Regards.
My a1c was 4.5 in October and recently a month ago it was 6.0 and they told me I was type 1 diabetic. I found out because I went to the hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis, i had high blood sugar. I was surprised. Maybe you are diabetic
Thanks for your reply, you are right. I am diabetic . The nurse said based on blood sugar levels , I am type 2. She did say there are more tests to find out if im type 1 but I think they are not doing them at the moment. She prescribed me Metformin. I will soon start taking it after I can get them but at this moment trying really hard with diet and exercise. I have cut off 95% of carbs , only having protein rich foods, complex carbs, veg, bits of fat . Feeling so upset and depressed that I will never be able to enjoy a big slice of chocolate cake or a chocolate bar ever again !!
@@tufnihassan281 if the metformin doesn't work for you then you're type 1 because type one can only use insulin. But if your dr says type 2 then I guess so. Because at first they prescribed me metformin and it didnt work for me.
@@tufnihassan281 I lost weight cutting out carbs and I eat alot because I been hungry alot lately because of this.
Thank you so much for your replies @badmammajamma. I haven't got the tablets yet from the pharmacy but will soon when I go for another blood test. The doctor said she needs another blood sample of me because they found some abnormalities in my liver ! In the meantime my carb cutting is working quite well as I can see a difference in my blood sugar readings and I am also having apple cider vinegar but yes , I am also quite hungry most of the times and the healthy snacks are getting very boring ! 😩
Im type 2 n always hungry blood sugar mostly high
