Walnuts-
Nuts are high in protein, fiber, and unsaturated fat, which means they're not only nutritious but slowly digested, too. And research also suggests that nuts may boost insulin sensitivity -- a nice bonus. Even better, though? A new study shows that walnuts may be particularly useful for people with diabetes. In the study, regular consumption of walnuts seemed to improve endothelial function in people with diabetes. And that's a really great thing because endothelia -- the cells lining your arteries -- are one of the first things to suffer when high blood sugar begins to wreak havoc in the body. Give your sandwich some crunch with this Walnut, Dill, and Tuna Salad recipe. less

You have to choose snacks carefully when it comes to satisfying your hunger. You want to keep hunger and hypoglycemia at bay without sending your blood sugar into orbit. Healthy, high-fiber, slowly digested snacks produce the best of both worlds, helping to curb hunger while producing a steady release of blood sugar. Just remember to balance snacking by reapportioning your meals so you're not adding calories to your day (which would mean more blood sugar than your system needs). Here are eight smart snack choices for satisfying the munchies while keeping blood sugar steady. They also happen to be delicious.
