Pretzel sticks
Graham crackers

It’s definitely possible to enjoy regular candy this Halloween season, however, if you prefer to stick to some low sugar or no added sugar options… I’ve got 9 of my top picks here for you! All of these options are blood sugar friendly, and either have no added sugar or low amounts of added sugar. And at the end, I discuss the importance of recognizing when a no added sugar candy uses allulose, and how to read that on the nutrition label.

I’m a registered dietitian living with diabetes and I love bagels. And no, not some low carb or keto bagel, like regular delicious bagels. And today I’m gonna show you how I enjoy them without a blood sugar spike. I’m not afraid of a higher number of total carbohydrate because I know the fiber and protein they have slows down how quickly my body digests them… which means blood sugar spikes are less likely.

@needlesandspoons_ Can my period make my blood sugar high? For some people yes, and for some people no.

In a regular 21-35 day cycle, we see four phases: the menstrual phase, follicular phase , ovulation and luteal phase. In the first half, we are typically estrogen dominant which is a hormone that promotes insulin sensitivity. After ovulation, we see more progesterone which can promote more insulin resistance. As always, it’s important to remember that every person has their own unique patterns!
