Question: From Madisonville, Tennessee, USA: I'm a school nurse with two fairly new juvenile diabetics. They get 12 to 15 gram carbohydrate snacks. What are some healthy alternatives that I can provide them? Right now, parents send fruit roll-ups Rice Krispie treats, Little Debbie cakes, etc. This seems to shoot them up high and then they drop again. One of them is allergic to peanut butter. Answer: With regards to healthier snacks that are approximately 15 grams of carbohydrate and are peanut free, I would suggest the following: animal crackers Cheezit crackers low carbohydrate yogurts vanilla wafers unsweetened applesauce popcorn (3 c. of a lower fat variety) Teddy Grahams graham crackers 8 ounces low fat milk One low fat string cheese stick with five or six saltine crackers Please be sure to check the packages for serving sizes.
