What are good foods/snacks for a diabetic to pack for a road trip?
When I leave the ranch I have a couple of apples, sliced in ziplock bag, celery with cheese filling (you might like peanutbutter), triscuits, and a couple of those Oatmeal breakfast bars along with a regular coke and a couple of bottles of water. This all goes into my little insulated cooler with ice packs along with my insulins and other meds I may need.
My hubby doesn't like to cater to my food needs, so I have to take what I want for nibbling on during the day. He will go for 12 hours between meals. We know you and I cannot do that.
Any finger food you like will work!
good luck friend!!

I pack a snack bag for Gina whenever we go out. I include a couple of fast-acting snacks (like juice), a couple of more substantial snacks with a protein in them, couple of "free" snacks like ham or cheese, a tube of frosting for an emergency and her glucagon for a bigger emergency.
