This lecture by Jill Weisenberger, M.S., R.D., C.D.E. talks about how many people with diabetes believe that snacking is necessary to prevent hypoglycemia. This lecture reviews snacking trends of Americans and compares the metabolic effects of eating many meals and snacks throughout the day to eating fewer, larger meals throughout the day. For those people who snack because of frequent hypoglycemia or fear of hypoglycemia, a medication change may be in order. Medications with a low or high risk of hypoglycemia are identified. Those who want to snack need to select their food choices carefully. Appropriate snack options are given.
