Fidelis Care Offers Healthy Holiday Tips for New Yorkers Living with Diabetes
Dr.
• Plan Ahead:
Stay on schedule. Don't skip meals to save up for that large holiday feast. It will become harder to control your blood sugars, your hunger, and your temptation to overindulge in high-calorie foods at the meal.
• Be Selective:
Many traditional holiday foods - like mashed and sweet potatoes, stuffing, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, pie, and desserts – are high in carbohydrates. Choosing non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or spinach which are also low in calories and carbohydrates, and drinking a large glass of water will help reduce your hunger. No food is really off-limits if you practice portion control, so look over all the food choices carefully, and select your favorite dish.
• Stay Active:
Healthy physical activity is an important component of diabetes management throughout the year. Keep up your regular physical activity schedule during holiday season and take a walk with friends and family after that big holiday feast.
• Enjoy the Holidays and Stress Less:
With proper planning, you can enjoy holiday gatherings, eat delicious food, and keep your blood sugars and weight under control. However, if you do find that you have overindulged, make a plan to get back on track.
"The holidays are a beautiful time of year to enjoy the company of loved ones and friends," said
Educating yourself about diabetes, following your doctor's advice, and self-care are important to prevent long term complications.
