To many people the holidays are times for celebration and food. For a diabetic it can be hard, you must participate in all of the good cooking too, but most times it is not made with a diabetic in mind. If the frequency of these events is not too often, you possibly can adjust your weight loss program for special occasions so you too can have some of the goodies available.
If you are going to visit new friends for dinner I suggest that you contact them in advance. That way you will not be surprised with the menu. Most people will not mind you asking especially if you have dietary needs that have to be taken into consideration. Once you do know what is being served, plan your meals for that day accordingly. You may want to have fewer carbohydrates with your breakfast to make up for what you will have later on.
You could also bring a something specially home made for everyone to share. Then you know for sure that you will have something that fits your diet perfectly. For family favorites and traditions, be creative and look for ways to create the same dishes with less fat or sugar. You can do this by substituting regular sugar for sugar substitutes or choose whole wheat flour instead of white for the extra fiber content.
During the holidays and other occasions, closely check your blood sugars. Even with extra care, the change in your diet plan can still result in a blood sugar that's too high or low.

Enjoy those special occasions.
