Holiday Tips for Diabetics - Schedule time to exercise. It’s easy to skip as your holiday schedule fills in.
- If you’re planning your own holiday parties, add an activity that keeps people moving, like door-to-door caroling or touring the neighborhood for the best decorations.
- When faced with a bountiful buffet, use a small plate and leave space around each item on it. Don’t return for seconds.
- Avoid adding fat to your food by skipping full-fat butter and margarine.
- Remember: Coffee and unsweetened tea are free food items. Opt for artificial sweetener and skim milk if needed.
- For dessert, enjoy a piece of fruit if it’s available. If you must answer a craving, share a small piece of dessert with a friend.
