Dry roasted or raw nuts. Nuts do have carbohydrates, so moderation is key--a handful at most. They also have fat, so as to curb any sugar spike.
Olives are another salty snack low in carbs and high in fat. (Honestly I do not eat olives.)
Suggestions for savory cravings:
Vegetables and a spread. Suggestions for a spread include hummus or peanut butter in moderation. Also choose vegetables that are diabetic friendly. (I love celery or carrots and peanut butter.) Another choice to add protein to this snack is to include a boiled egg.
Cheese and crackers. Try to pick whole-grain or wheat crackers. A rule again is keep carbs under 15 grams. Cheese and vegetables is another option.
Sweet snacks:
A sugar-free pudding is nice. This is also a way to curb the chocolate craving.
Plain yogurt or Greek yogurt. Store bought fruit added yogurts are not the best choice. However you can add fruit or honey to plain yogurt.
A last piece of advise form this article is to check you blood sugar before and after snacks so you know how your body reacts to a particular snack.
