DIABETIC snacks/drinks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

One of my best kayak fishing and bike riding buds is a diabetic, I learned a lot about nutrition from our experiences.

The best "on the go" snack was the PowerBar Performance energy bar: 2:1 glucose to fructose, carbohydrate and protein exchanges as recommended by the American Diabetic Association. We used to work events for PowerBar, they were very popular with diabetics. The PowerBar Protein Plus Reduced Sugar protein bar is also good and is a little more substantial than the Performance bar. The Clif Bar Builders Bar is also good.

My friend drinks Diet Pepsi, but in the kayak or on the bikes, it was pretty much 100% water. He also carried glucose tabs just in case.
