Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Hi there! It’s me again, Merry Christmas to all. I know that the holiday season can be hard for diabetics because everyone knows that it is time to make festive cookies and trade them, which means it’s hard to get a good carb count. Especially for kids you don’t have a normal school schedule to stay on during Christmas break.
An easy Thing to do if you go to a Christmas party is bring your own and maybe a little something special to have if you don’t want to guess carbs. This will be my first Christmas with diabetes and I am little nervous about it, no more unlimited eating. Well I also can’t believe that it is almost another new year. It seems like just 12 months ago we had new years eve.
That was the day that I was diagnosed! WOW time flies. I can’t believe that it has almost been a year. SEEMS CRAZY TO ME!! Anyways I hope that you enjoy your Christmas and New Years! Merry Christmas and a happy new year from us diabetes diary!

hey!! awesome website here!! i was wondering how old you were when you were diagnosed with type 1??
With the holidays approaching,the concerns about diabetic anxiety over the temptations of holiday food rears its ugly head once again. As a non insulin using type 2 diabetic, I’ve found that employing a totally (some would say unthinkable) different philosophy about holiday food is the best way to permanently deal with these issues. That is–Screw the holidays.Screw the whole idea that food should be considered a source of pleasure.Treat the holidays as if they were any other day of the year.Regard food only as fuel,nothing more.Your long term health is far too important to be threatened by holiday junk food.If you can come to terms with,and live by what I’ve just described, you’ll live better–Just look at your b/g meter…. BTW–This is far from being my idea alone.I’m only relaying the good advice I’ve heard from other diabetics since I was diagnosed six years ago. M C
