Christmas goodies: What are some treats the AdA says diabetics can have?

In a post earlier this week, I mentioned graham crackers, and a couple of people said that they did not know that diabetics can have graham crackers, so I thought I would list some other things diabetics can have, here at Christmastime and throughout the year.

You can have:

3 Graham crackers (2 1/2 in sq.)

Animal crackers. 8

Saltine crackers. 6

Oyster crackers, 24

Popcorn, 3 cups

Pretzels, 3/4 oz.

Part-skim milk cheeses, 1 oz.

Most fruits

Most dried fruits

small amounts of nuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds

Coffee tea

Sugar-free cocoa

2 small Christmas cookies, any type with less than 6 g of sugar (check the label;  you'll be surprised, especially if you look at the cheaper types of cookies. They tend to  have less sugar.)

Gingersnaps, 3

Vanilla wafers, 6

Sugar free peppermints

Store bought fig bars, 2

sugar free pudding

sugar free gelatin

lite whipped topping

sugar free chocolate candy (in moderation)

granola bars

You can see the possibilities. Sugar free vanilla pudding, a banana or two, and some vanilla wafers make banana pudding.

Sugar gelatin and whipped cream make a lovely dessert.

Sugar free peppermint crushed and mixed into sugar free pudding tastes like Christmas!

I will be sharing more Christmas treats for diabetics as we approach the day!
