I have family members with diabetes, and honestly, we were advised to limit all processed snacks, even 'healthy' ones. Best to check with their doctor or a nutritionist, as every diabetic's needs are different.
Hah, if anything tastes 'skinny' it probably means it's not much fun. For diabetes, my doctor keeps telling me whole grains are good, but portion is key. Better stick to something very basic like roasted chana.
My mother has diabetes, and we always get very careful about packaged foods. Even if it says low-calorie, sometimes the sugar content can be high. It is always better to speak to your doctor or a dietician about such things, ma.
For diabetics, natural is always best. Fresh fruits, vegetables, traditional meals. Packaged items like skinny pop, even if they seem light, can have hidden sugars or preservatives. For any diet changes for diabetes, consult a doc.
See, for diabetics, regular monitoring is important, and that costs money. So best to eat things that don't mess with your sugar levels and make you spend more on medicines. 'Skinny pop' might be okay in tiny amounts, but home-made unsalted popcorn is safer and cheaper.
