I use Zone nutritional bars if I can't get back to sleep, at 2am..etc. The non-chocolate ones are best for me. Zone Perfect has a nice balance of protein to carb, so as to keep insulin from spiking. I get mine at Target where they have a big selection of flavors.  There are slow carb bars at pharmacies now called Glucerna. This releases carbs very slowly and prevents dips during the night. They make liquid versions too.
You might also try Kefir... I find it makes a satisfying snack too. |
Thanks- I don't think I can have Zone bars. I can't eat nuts, sugar, gluten or dairy. I eat eggs but today they made my blood sugar worse after. I had to quit kefir this week cause it caused my heart to go into tachycardia and blood pressure to be too low for half a day. Its funny that my nerves have gotten better but my heart palps and tachycardia and stomach continue to get worse and are even more sensitive.
