Keep the holidays sweet<br />
<strong>NOV</strong>EMBER<br />
and your blood sugar in check!<br />
The holidays can be filled with<br />
many activities – shopping,<br />
decorating and yes, eating.<br />
It can be tricky and stressful<br />
to stay on a diet with so many<br />
tempting treats, especially if you<br />
have diabetes. But that doesn’t<br />
have to be the case if you make<br />
simple, healthy decisions!<br />
• Make time to exercise<br />
• Check your blood glucose as often as your doctor recommends<br />
• Eat healthy foods and limit ones that are not on your diet plan<br />
• Take your medications as prescribed<br />
The holidays can wreak<br />
havoc on your sleep,<br />
making it hard to control<br />
your blood sugar. When<br />
you are tired you may eat<br />
more high-fat, high-sugar<br />
food. Try to get 7 - 8 hours<br />
of sleep every night.<br />
Don't skip meals to<br />
save up for a party.<br />
Your blood sugar will<br />
be harder to control,<br />
and you'll be more<br />
likely to overeat.<br />
