diabetic trail foods

“I'm a recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic.

This means I have to look for alternatives to my favorite trail foods which contain lots of sugar, plenty of fats and more carbohydrates than my body can presently sustain.

Are there any other type 2 diabetic backpackers out there? If so, what do you do about trail foods?

Would appreciate any suggestions and tips you can offer.

Look forward to hearing from you!”

“ Here is an article from backpacker magazine. It has a suggested 3 day menu.
Joslin Diabetes Center has a discussion forum with doctors overseeing it. You might ask the question there also.”

“good luck to you.”
