With the holidays around the corner, sweets are everywhere! Halloween, now Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years! What’s a diabetic supposed to do with all of these sweets?
Having an insulin pump, I find that knowing my carbs in candy can be very helpful to keep my glucose levels stable. There are lots of desserts and recipe variations which complicate how much insulin a diabetic needs to give. A diabetic can have a hard time giving insulin without knowing how many carbs are in food. But an easy way to enjoy some sweet chocolate candy is simple and easy to do once you know the carbs in candy. Don’t you agree? 
With the upcoming holidays in mind, I found a great table you might want to use for a quick reference. If you are like me, I try to keep my sugar levels stable and don’t have to think twice if I can just figure out the carbohydrates in the food I want to eat!
If you are a type 1 or type 2 diabetic, I’d like to hear how you handle these sweet holidays! Do you avoid desserts and candy? Do you search for carb counts? Do you eat these high carb food and let your sugar levels get out of control? I’m curious how other diabetics handle this time of year. Comment and let me know!
