Which option is the right one?<\/p>\n<p>Generally, consuming snacks is recommended if there is a risk of your blood sugar (glucose) level dropping too low and causing a condition called hypoglycemia. If this happens, you may experience sweating, weakness, tremors, and even loss of consciousness. Having a snack between meals that contains carbohydrates can prevent this. The highest risk of hypoglycemia is among individuals using diabetes medications, especially insulin.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t use diabetes medications, you are usually not at risk of hypoglycemia. If you have type 2 diabetes and your primary therapy involves diet and exercise, low blood sugar concentration should not be a concern. Therefore, snacking is not necessary. However, there might still be a reason to have additional food between meals \u2013 hunger! If you can&#8217;t go between meals without food, have something healthy. During the first two weeks of the Majamayo Center program, we recommend that your snack be either vegetables or fruit.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some data suggest that you should, while other data indicate the opposite.
