Peanut Butter for Diabetics

I found out that Peanut butter is very helpful for diabetics.

When eating pancakes, spread with peanut butter instead of butter or margarine. Top off with sugar-free syrup.

Peanut butter, regular Jif Peanut Butter used as this example, has more protein than carbohydrates. This is important for diabetics.

Need a quick snack? Cut a slice of whole grain bread in half. Top one of the halves with a tablespoon of peanut butter, add a tablespoon of low-sugar jelly then top with the other half of the bread. Or you can eat it without the top piece of bread if you prefer.

For snacks, lunches or party platters, cut a rib of celery into three or four pieces. Stuff the inside with some peanut butter.

Slice an apple into wedges. Dip into peanut butter for snacking. The protein in the peanut butter will help to counteract the natural sugar in the apple.

When eating out and tempted by dessert, eat a few bites or small slice of peanut butter pie. This should be after eating meat or other protein during your meal. I have done this several times at a local steakhouse and it has never caused my blood sugar to go over 120.

At a birthday party and want a piece of cake? Ask the hostess for a small slice of cake and a tablespoon of peanut butter. I always do this and it has never increased my blood sugar.
