Infographic: Smart Snack Swaps for Better Health
“How many people know the power of simple swaps?”
Even small, everyday food changes can support better glucose control and overall well-being.
ESDN Diabetes has designed a new educational infographic to highlight just that.
The infographic:
- visually guides users from “Can be improved”
to “Most balanced option” - promotes practical, achievable swaps
suitable for real-life work environments - empowers individuals to improve their
snack choices gradually - reinforces the message that small steps
can lead to meaningful progress

“In our extremely busy world, we must raise awareness about diabetes and remember that employees living with diabetes face daily challenges. As dietitians, we can help build workplaces where healthy food choices and understanding are part of everyday life.”
“With small tips from your dietitian, your stress at work decreases, while your blood sugar being in the target range increases your concentration and work efficiency.”
“Ask your dietitian for tips on how to handle glycaemic spikes during work meals.”
“At work, even small nutrition adjustments can make a big difference in blood glucose control. As dietitians, we help employees maintain steady energy and focus throughout the day.”

“While working, it is important to be organised to manage diabetes safely. Dietitians can help by offering specialist evidence-based advice and practical meal suggestions tailored to each person’s needs and workplace rhythm.”
