Hello I'm a type 1 diabetic, I personally like snacks that are low carb. How do I know if a (diabetic friendly) store bought snack is good for me? My insulin to carb ratio is 1:15

Male | 13

Diabetic snacking ne­eds care. Always check the total carb conte­nt on labels. For stable blood sugar, pick low-carb options. Based on your 1:15 insulin-to-carb ratio, 1 insulin unit cove­rs 15 grams of carbs consumed. So portion your snack accordingly. However, drink water promptly if you e­xperience e­xcessive thirst, freque­nt urination, blurred vision, and possible high blood sugar signs. The­n test your levels and adjust insulin pe­r doctor's guidelines.

Female | 38

High blood sugar can cause excessive thirst, fatigue, and increased urination. If it is high for too long, like 262 for 4 days, it can be dangerous. This may be due to not taking diabetes medication, eating too much sugary food, or lack of exercise. To reduce it, try drinking water, eating healthy foods, and moving more. If this still doesn't help, you should go to a doctor.
