Teresa Wilson wrote an article last month offering 10 Tips for Thanksgiving. Here are the tips:
- Have Thanksgiving at your own home
- Eat a good breakfast
- Eat small meals and snacks on Thanksgiving Day
- Check your blood sugar levels several times throughout Thanksgiving Day
- Get some exercise
- Prepare a few sugar-free desserts
- Avoid alcohol
- Avoid stress as much as possible
- Prepare extra side dishes that are healthy
- Eat slowly, eat your favorite foods only, eat small portions
I partially agree with some of the tips, but did not find a lot of value in this list. Furthermore I disliked a few part of the article:
"Diabetics need to have a constant blood sugar level because when there are spikes, it is a very unpleasant feeling and can lead to crying and anger."
I disagree with this statement but also find it partly offensive. Another quote I completely disagree with is:
"The truth is, a diabetic who is on insulin probably shouldn't drink at all."
This is not the truth. If you have control of your diabetes and control of your alcohol consumption then it is OK to drink. It is even beneficial to have one glass of wine per day!
The key to Thanksgiving and only tip you need is:
- Do everything in moderation
