Although there's no cure for diabetes, the condition can be controlled and put into remission. A good diet plan, which is naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories, is important for controlling your blood sugar levels and managing diabetes. Eating small snacks from time to time may help people with diabetes prevent their blood sugar level from going too high or too low. But make sure you choose snacks that are filled with nutrients, but low in carbohydrates and calories. Also, keep in mind that portion size to avoid weight gain. Extra weight can make it even harder to control your blood sugar levels and increase the risk of diabetes progression.

Yogurt: Next time, you feel hungry between the meals, eat 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Yogurt, especially Greek yogurt, is low in carbohydrate and contains very few calories. But it is packed with protein and contains other nutrients like calcium, B vitamins, folic acid, potassium, phosphorous and zinc. If you don’t get Greek yogurt, take half a cup of plain yogurt and top it with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raisins or some nuts.
