Health & Wellness: Diabetes Awareness Month

MORE True or False?
1. People with diabetes can never eat sweets. False: You can have your cake and eat it too, just not the whole cake! People with diabetes need to control the total amount of carbohydrates (pronounced: kar-bo-HI-drates) in their diet, and sugary treats count as carbs. But this doesn’t mean that they can’t have any sweets. It just means that they should put the brakes on eating too many sweets and other high-calorie foods that are low in nutrients (like vitamins and minerals we all need). Eating too many of these foods also can make it less likely you’ll want to eat healthier foods.

2. People with diabetes can’t exercise. False: Exercise is important for all people — with or without diabetes! Exercise has many benefits. In addition to helping keep your weight under control (which is helpful for managing diabetes), exercise is good for your heart and lungs, it helps you burn off some steam, and it relieves stress. And exercise is great for blood sugar control. Talk to your diabetes health care team about exercising and managing your blood sugar.

3. All people with diabetes need to take insulin. False: All people with type 1 diabetes have to take insulin injections because their pancreases don’t make insulin anymore. Some, but not all, people with type 2 diabetes have to take insulin — with or without other diabetes medications — to manage their blood sugar levels.

3 Rules to Follow for the Big Holiday Meal
Go ahead and gobble…but not too much
 
It all looks so good when you sit down for a big holiday meal. Turkey and gravy, dressing, sweet potatoes, and enough desserts to open your own bakery. Go ahead and gobble, but not too much. The average person eats about 3,000 calories at the dinner table during a holiday meal. Before you dig in, think about this: A 160-pound person would have to walk 30 miles to burn off that many calories. You can still enjoy the feast. Just don’t show up like you’re trying out for a competitive eating contest. To keep your calories in check when there’s a big holiday meal on your schedule, try this basic action plan:
 
Before: Eat light, healthy meals and snacks during the day prior to the big meal. Choose a green salad, soup, or fruits and vegetables. Then when the dinner bell rings, you won’t be as hungry. Stepping on the scale daily, can also help you be mindful of your food choices during the holidays.
 
During: If you really feel the need to indulge, sample everything on the table, just in smaller portions. Eat until you’re full…not stuffed.
 
After: Plan to take a walk and exercise to burn off a few of those extra calories after the big meal. With a little planning and self-control, you can still enjoy the big holiday meal and be healthy.

With these tips, we hope you and your family stay safe, healthy, and vigilant!
