Can people with diabetes eat sunflower seed crunchy sticks?
People with diabetes can eat sunflower seed crunchy sticks, but the flour contributes carbohydrates that can affect blood glucose. Keep the portion within your meal plan, and ask your doctor or dietitian how it fits your individual targets and medication.

What is Sunflower Seed Crunchy Stick?
A sunflower seed crunchy stick is a savoury baked snack made from dough mixed with or topped with sunflower seeds. It is more of a modern packaged snack than a dish tied to one particular regional tradition, and recipes can vary in how generously the seeds are added.
Its crisp bite and lightly toasted seed flavour make it easy to snack on between meals, pack for a journey or serve alongside tea. The stick is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some protein, fat and fibre from the seeds. Enjoy it on its own as a quick nibble, or pair it with yoghurt or fresh vegetables for a more rounded snack.
