Lots of good ideas here, but damned if I'm going to take a BG reading at 2 o'clock in the morning!

One thing I'm thankful about my diet is that I can still eat my favorite snack Popcorn. It's my most favorite snack of all time.

I like popcorn in moderation. I fast for about 18–19 hours a day; my window for eating is from roughly 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., but sometimes a light snack, preferably with a few carbs, helps me to sleep at night. Nuts, cheese and fruit in moderation are other snacks I enjoy that don't interfere with my diabetes.
