I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. During the day at work I eat very little, but in the evenings and weekends, I can’t seem to stay out of the kitchen. Do you have any suggestions to control my snacking in the evenings and weekends?

Try not to go more than five hours without eating. When snacking, choose foods that are high in fiber and mono-unsaturated fats to keep you fuller longer. Good examples of high-fiber choices are fruits and vegetables, and I recommend almonds, avocados, and olives. With diabetes, take extra care of portion sizes, especially when consuming fruits, and make sure to increase your fiber intake slowly so as not to disrupt the digestive system too much.
