Appetizer and Snack Tips for Diabetes
People with diabetes need to avoid appetizers and snacks made of high sugar or saturated fats. 
The goal should be to have a mix of fiber, protein, unsaturated fat, and carbohydrates. Here are a few suggestions on what to eat:
- Serve cut-up raw fruits or vegetables with low-fat dip for a mid-morning break
- Put together fresh fruit and cheese trays
- Serve fruit and vegetable fondues
- Chop berries or tropical fruits, mix with fresh basil and balsamic vinegar, spread on thinly sliced, toasted baguettes
- Spear fruits or vegetables on skewers and grill
- Chop fresh tomatoes, marinate in vinaigrette, serve as spread for bruschetta
- Crush berries and mix into ricotta cheese, serve as spread for crackers
- Serve frozen grapes in small cups
