I recently saw a Facebook friend with diabetes lamenting over a family event. Her mother-in-law had invited her family to a party. She is pregnant with diabetes and her blood sugar levels are very reactive. When she arrived, it turned out to be a pizza party with no other food available. She had thought ahead and grabbed a crab salad, but then had the challenge of no utensils at the party. The pizza looked pretty tempting. Had she not been prepared, her hunger may have prompted her to grab a piece and then later have to deal with trying to get her blood sugar level back into control.
This may sound familiar to you. I know I've encountered this situation plenty of times. In fact, I usually have to take food that works better for me. I don't have time to always take food that takes a while to prepare and don't have the financial resources to always buy something healthy that is ready-made or expensive to make. So I have a couple easy dishes in my mind that are nutritious and help to fill me up.
Here is a list of very simple and basic vegetable platters that may help keep you on the right track. Do you have food ideas for this situation? If so, please share.
