Happy December, friends!

While the holidays can be challenging at best with family, travel, and the pressures of gift giving, we have a hunch that you may be also feeling a bit nervous with all the delicious holiday food around.

And if you are someone who needs to be mindful of their blood glucose levels (or manage their blood sugar), we understand that all the baked goods can seem downright dangerous to you.

Have no fear- Our amazing RD and Diabetes Educator Heidi Karner, MS, RDN is here to give it you straight.

We filmed a short video for you where she covered:

➡️ The most asked questions around blood sugar control she gets from clients during the Holidays

➡️ Why we need carbohydrates (spoiler- if you aren't eating enough, your body will MAKE glucose)

➡️ The faucet metaphor when thinking about which macronutrients we need

➡️ Timing on when to eat protein, fats, and carbs during a meal

➡️ The importance of not restricting holiday foods (so go eat Grandma Jean's pumpkin pie!)

Check out our conversation HERE.
