Holiday planning
Enjoy the holidays without ignoring blood glucose control. Don't pass up favorite foods or deprive yourself completely. Moderate consumption is the key. Exercise an hour each day during the holidays. Exercise to burn calories, relieve stress, and elevate your mood - take a brisk walk, run, or get on that bike/treadmill. Alcoholic beverages pack on the calories, so if you do drink alcohol, start with a non-alcoholic drink first, then have only one light beer or small glass of wine/champagne spritzer. If you are at the mercy of your dinner host, use the plate method - fill half your plate with low calorie (non-starchy) vegetables, and skip the second helpings.
