You will find it's mostly veggies that have next to no carbs. This is why I'd recommend allocating at least some of your 224 carbs to one snack, and a mid-morning snack would be the best time for that I would imagine.

One idea I have is a cup of low/non-fat plain yogurt with a handful of nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, or cashews. This is about 20 carbs, but if you only use 1/2 cup of yogurt, it'll be around 12. With the fibre and fat content of the nuts, it would be relatively filling as a snack.

I'm sorry if you can't eat any of that; I don't know anyone with diabetes, so I don't know much about what works and what doesn't. I just thought that something with a bit of flavour that's relatively low in carbs (esp. as a % of total calories) would be a good option for you.

Maybe give us a list of foods you've been recommended overall, and we can assemble snack ideas for you?

Good luck.
