Ok. Counting Calories is not what a diabetic needs. Im not stating opinion though; I hope you arent either. We have learned too much about the human body to guess. When blood sugars gets low / dangerously low, calorie counting will hurt you. You could end up in a coma. Listen to your body. When you start to get light headed or dizzy, you have waited too long. Also, check those blood sugars often and see what types of foods help regulate better.
Yes almonds may help; Getting healthy fats and proteins throughout the day to balance blood sugar. Also, a range of different kinds of nutrients is good.
