So Many Carbs and So Much Sugar

Regardless of whether you’re celebrating Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Saturnalia, the Solstice and or Christmas, the endless Holiday feasting and partying can inspire trepidation in diabetics.

A proven trick that can help diabetics maintain healthy blood sugar levels, when faced with a big Holiday meal or party, is as simple as it is effective.

Drinking alcohol with an empty stomach can increase your risk of a hypoglycaemia. That’s why eating a protein-based snack, before having a drink, can help to slow down both the effects and absorption of alcohol.

Another insight that can help you get through the Holidays without incident involves an amazing lab mistake that stunned researchers when they discovered that their error effectively lowers blood sugar levels.

Watch this video to learn about this surprising lab mistake and how it can help you better manage your diabetes. And don’t forget to avoid drinking on an empty stomach.
