How to Cook Diabetes-Friendly Veggies

We all know eating veggies is good for us—their fiber alone can help you manage your weight and heart health. You’ll find two types of vegetables at the store: starchy vegetables (like peas, potatoes, and corn) and non-starchy vegetables (like broccoli, eggplant, and peppers).

6 Tips for a Happy, Healthy Holiday with Diabetes

1. Timing of Meals Throughout the holidays you may find yourself heading to family feasts or parties at odd times. For example, holiday dinners can be served at 3 or 4pm. Plan in advance for how you will handle making changes if your meal does not align with your regular meal schedule.
