That’s why I love the diabetic snack section of Cooking Light magazine; it gives you some great recipes you can make at the beginning of the week and then keep on-hand throughout the day so you stay on track between meals.
Try out this Crisp and Spicy Snack Mix and tell me what you think. And don’t forget to come see your Houston podiatrist for regular diabetic foot exams!
