If you have diabetes, choosing healthy snacks will help keep your blood sugar levels in check, curb your appetite, and give you a boost of energy.

Know the difference between being hungry and bored. Try to avoid mindless grazing.

Understand portions. And try to keep your snacks to 150 calories.

Portion out your snacks from their original bag into a storage container. Make better choices.

Choose nuts instead of chips.

Stash snacks that need little prep, like cottage cheese and fresh fruit, homemade popcorn sprinkled with nutritional yeast, fresh veggies with hummus and nuts.

Everybody loves cheese. So add a little apple to slices of cheddar and voila-- a diabetic-friendly snack that provides fiber, protein, and calcium. For an on-the-go snack, try mixing dried fruits, nuts, and unsweetened whole grain cereal, or shredded wheat-- fiber and healthy fats.

Now there's a snack. And that's your festival of delicious snacks. [MUSIC PLAYING]
