Is it okay to eat a snickers bar if you have diabetes?
assistant
It’s generally not recommended for people with diabetes to eat sugary snacks like candy, cookies, and other sweets. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. If your blood sugar levels are already high, eating a small portion of a low-fat snack such as yogurt or cheese can help bring them down. In addition, some diabetic medications may allow you to safely enjoy treats from time to time. Speak with your doctor about what is best for you in terms of managing your diabetes and food intake.
