What are good bedtime snacks for people with diabetes?

For a blood-sugar friendly bedtime snack, focus on protein-rich options with minimal carbs. Good choices include leftover meat, cheese, or a small handful of unsalted nuts. These options won't cause significant blood sugar spikes while sleeping. Some specific snack ideas include:
- Celery sticks with unsalted peanut butter
- Small portion of low-sugar fruits like berries
- Cheese sticks
- Beef jerky
- Cold cut roll-ups made with low-fat deli meats
- Tuna with whole-grain crackers
- Chia seed pudding (can be prepared ahead)

Remember to keep portions moderate and avoid sugary or high-carb foods close to bedtime. Having healthy snacks prepared in advance can help you make better choices when nighttime hunger strikes.
