For those of you who are diabetics, holiday parties, desserts, and buffets can throw your meal plan way off-track. Here are some tips from HealthDay News:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests how to enjoy the holidays if you’re diabetic:

• Enjoy a healthy snack before you go to a party, or pack one to take with you.
• Have small portions from the holiday buffet, and make your table far away from the food.
• Stick to low-calorie drinks, and limit alcohol to one drink a day for women, or two drinks a day for men.
• Skip poultry with skin, ham with a honey glaze, and creamy side dishes and sauces.
• Opt for veggie-based, light side dishes, especially fresh vegetables.
• Enjoy fresh fruit, instead of a piece of the pie.
• Make socializing with friends and family the focus of the season, rather than food.
