ok I need help, those of you following my blog know that last week I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic, I'm now on medication and a "diet".

I think a lot of us know someone who is diabetic or is that way themselves. I REALLY need to find something I can eat as a mid morning snack (keep in mind I eat breakfast at 615 and lunch at 12) that is actually filling. Veggies just arent cutting it, and I'd like it to be something that doesnt have carbs because I only get 224 a day and I dont want to waste them on snacks.

One I have thought of, because pickles are on my freel list, is something I've done since childhood. You take deli ham and wrap it around a pickle. I think 3 of these would probably work but I dont want to have to eat them every day.

(as a side note please dont recommend fruit as fruits have carbs)

So, what do your diabetic family members/friends do when they are starving and its still aways until meal time?

**I should also add that it cant be anything thats fortified with iron or high in iron because I have hemochromatosis (iron overload) or contains artificial sweetner because its a major migraine trigger for me

It seems Splenda causes no issues

I would also like to find out things I can drink (of course all diet drinks are out) its been 3 days and Im already sick to death of water. I have not tried making tea with splenda, I will try that tonite.
