Cracker Meal (1 Cup)

Reduce the cracker portion and avoid eating crackers by themselves; pre-portion a small serving rather than eating from the box.

Pair crackers with protein and fat such as egg, cheese, tuna, tofu, hummus, avocado, or nuts to slow absorption.

Add high-fiber non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber, celery, bell pepper, broccoli, or leafy greens, and use fewer crackers overall.

Choose denser, higher-fiber crackers with seeds, nuts, or legumes, and avoid sweetened, refined-flour, or very thin crisp crackers.

Eat the protein and vegetables first, then have the crackers slowly as part of a full meal rather than as a snack when very hungry.

After eating, take an easy 10–20 minute walk if it is safe for you; if unusually high readings persist or you feel unwell, follow your diabetes care plan or contact a clinician.
