Tips for blood glucose control
the season
By Debbie Wilburn
For the Forsyth County News
Are your holidays a time
for joy and fun or are they a
time for guilt and high blood
glucose levels? Many people
who have diabetes debate
with themselves about
whether they should or
shouldn’t eat various high
sugar, high fat foods. Many
just give up and eat what
they want and hope to get
some control after the new
year. But is this the best
way?
Some people do stay in
control over the holidays and
manage to eat some of the
extras as well. This requires
planning and a willingness to
test your blood glucose level
more often to see how differ
ent foods, activities and
stresses affect you.
First, talk to your med¬
ical team about your desire
to experiment this year with
a more liberal meal plan. Ask
them for a target range of
blood glucose values to
reach before each meal and
two hours after. Make a list
of the foods that you fully
expect to add to your diet,
like Aunt Joan’s pumpkin pie
or your favorite Christmas
cookies. Then estimate how
much of each you expect to
eat. Maybe you only plan to
eat the pumpkin pie on
Thanksgiving, but you know
you’ll eat at least two cook¬
ies a day during the entire
week of Christmas.
If possible bring in the
recipes for holiday foods so
the dietitian can calculate the
carbohydrate in each portion.
If you don’t have the recipes,
there are food composition
tables in various books in the
bookstore to estimate portion
size and carbohydrate con 1 -

tent. If the food has a nutri
tion facts label, you can fig
ure that each 15 grams of
carbohydrate in the amount
you intend to eat can replace
either a starch, a fruit or milk
serving.
Then you can decide how
you can either eat less of
other carbohydrate-rich
foods you normally eat or
adjust your diabetes medica¬
tion or activity to make up
the difference in carbohy
drate and calories. But if you
eat more instead of substitut
ing the holiday food for food
you normally eat, you will
take in more calories and
may gain weight even if your
blood glucose stays in the
desired range.
Now for the important
part of the experiment. Test
your blood glucose before
and two hours after you eat
the holiday foods. Be objec¬
tive and see how each food
actually effects you. Write
down all that you ate and
what your blood glucose
readings were. These are not
judgments about you — they
are just raw data to help you
decide how a meal or snack
changes your blood glucose.
Also note how much diabetes

medicine you took before
eating and how active you
were around meal time. Then
record whether you were
more emotional during this
time. Even excitement can
release some of the stress
hormones that can raise
blood glucose levels.
You should notice pat¬
terns in your blood glucose
control. For example, you
may see that when you eat
Aunt Joan’s pie and just sit
around watching football
after dinner, your blood glu
cose goes over 200. But if
you take a walk with your
sister, your blood glucose is
below 140 two hours later,
You may even see that a
higher fat snack or meal
slows down how quickly
your blood sugar rises even
when you eat foods with
equal amounts of carbohy
drate.
Or you may find that if
you take an extra unit or two
of insulin before you eat the
pie, your blood glucose also
is below 140, even if you
just sit around,
Testing more often lets
you know what really is hap
pening and helps you handle
any situation. This way you
are in control and you choose
the food, activity and med
ication schedule that work
best for you.
So don’t go blindly into
this holiday season. Be real¬
istic about your eating habits
and make plans to really take
charge of your diabetes.
