Living with Diabetes: Satisfying Your Sweet Tooth
Halloween is just the first of many “treat” laden holidays coming up in the next few months. Keeping desserts in check this time of year can be difficult for even the strongest willed among us—but for anyone living with diabetes it can be downright dangerous not too. The key to staying healthy and not feeling deprived as we head into the holidays? Set your intention now and keep a few diabetes-friendly dessert recipes in your back pocket!
One of the healthiest things you can do for yourself doesn’t even relate to food. Sticking with your normal workout routine (or even starting a new one) will keep your weight and stress level balanced when the holiday craziness sets in. Jump at the chance to bring a dessert to your family gatherings so you have control over the ingredients. Cooking Light has some great options for diabetics to satisfy that sweet tooth while keeping your blood sugar in check. Unsweetened cocoa stirred into unsweetened vanilla almond milk, roasted apples with cinnamon and nutmeg or berries with plain yogurt are just a few healthy dessert options that still feel decadent. Don’t let your weight “spook” you come the New Year; make better decisions today to keep it from haunting you tomorrow!
