Protein bars!
My glucose levels are higher than they were 3 months ago. I don't want them to get higher so I asked the doctor for suggestions. She suggested water and lots of protein, protein every time I eat. I use to always go for lunch meat when it came to a protein snack, but obviously can't have that now. I don't mind warmed up meat, but I'd rather eat it warm then putting it in the fridge and eating it cold after being warmed up. So I'm looking into protein alternatives that would be easy to have in my desk at work for a snack.
Anyone have recommendations for good protein bars that aren't full of sugar? Thanks in advance!

I love clif bars, but they have a fair amount of sugar in them. The Black Cherry Almond are my favorite.
To make you feel my love.

I will 2nd the Clif bars. Those are what I use for protien with my half marathons. Otherwise nuts, greek yogurt, peanut butter, eggs, cottage cheese, beans, Kashi bars are good and not as bad with sugar.
I always kept a small lunch tote in my drawer with PB and celery/apples. Or I would do carrots and hummus or a greek yogurt. But all of this I would keep in that small tote with an ice pack in it. Then I always have almonds (the smoked ones are my favorite) in my drawer just in case I forgot something cold that day. Most of these items were on the very low end for sugar (except the apples).

Once a week I grill up a big batch of chicken or turkey to use in salads or sandwiches so that I don't have to eat lunch meat, I've been doing that for ages.
Good luck!!

For quick snacks- I would say clif bars as well, there's only a few flavors I like but it is a much better brand than most. Also the peanuts are a good choice, and my favorite protein snack is apples and PB.
