Pickles, olives, pork rinds, almond flour crackers, homemade sugar free jello jigglers, low carb yogurts, and small quantities of nuts. All things I can eat without dosing for. I eat very low carb and do well with all of the above.

It may sound odd but cheese is a big go to freebie snack for me. I love cheese & can literally just eat pieces all day long without crackers or anything else. It also helps that there's a variety of options too so you can keep changing it up. I also just became obsessed with pork rinds. Another freebie as far as carbs go. Random suggestions, but you never know what might help. Good luck!

Any kind of nuts! Cashews, Almonds or Pistasios!

- Variations: Use apple slices or carrot sticks instead of celery.

2. Fruit and Greek Yogurt:
- Unsweetened, plain Greek yogurt with a small handful of fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries).
- You can also make fruit skewers with a yogurt dip or freeze the yogurt and fruit for healthy popsicles.

3. Turkey Roll-Ups:
- Use a tortilla or low-carb flatbread with turkey and your choice of fillings.
- For a low-carb option, wrap turkey slices with lettuce, tomato, and a slice of cheese.

Always consult with your grandson's physician or a registered dietitian before making any major dietary changes.

It's not completely free of carbs, but roasted and flavored pumpkin seeds are low carb. 1/4 cup has just 4 carbs and they are high in fiber, so the carbs will absorb slowly (shouldn't spike sugar as much). I really like the Top Fox brand and they come in different flavors. They have a nice crunch so they are almost like eating chips or popcorn.
