If you need a pick-me-up in between meals, a snack with 15-20 grams of carbohydrates is often the answer. For someone with diabetes, it's important to eat a fiber-filled and nutrient-rich snack to curb the appetite before the next meal, says Angela Ginn-Meadow, a registered dietitian and a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. Talk to your health-care provider about whether a snack will work in your meal plan.

To cmathys2006: Get thee to a Registered Dietitian and fast! The American Diabetes Association (per Standard of Medical Care- 2009) recommends at least 130 g carbohydrates per day, but your RD should provide you with an individual meal plan based upon your specific needs and help you to put these recommendations into practice. Good Luck! a concerned RD.
