Tips on Surviving the Mid-Afternoon Famine

One of the problems with being a diabetic is the dreaded mid-afternoon snack. You need something quick, and a nutrition bar or fruit is probably not a good idea. I'd suggest making sure that you have a supply of pico de gallo and corn chips on hand.

There are a wide variety of gluten-free crackers. They may not be carb free, but they do have fewer carbs than regular crackers so you can snack with less guilt.

This is yet another reason to split your lunch and save a third of it for later. Well, "later" is NOW.

Look for the vendor's number on any vending machines in the building. If they are serious about making money, then they are also willing to listen to snack suggestions, even vague ones like "sugar-free". Call them up and see what you can arrange.

Jerky and porkskins also make for great snacks. For a fun option, track down the local carneceria (Mexican mini-mart) for chicarrons (the best are like thick porkskins with some meat attached).
