The holiday season is here, and your calendar is likely full of parties, tasty treats, and plenty of festive drinks. It’s a time to celebrate, but if you’re managing diabetes, planning ahead is essential to enjoy the season safely.

Did you know alcohol can lower your blood sugar? This is a common effect of drinking, but understanding how and why it happens can help you stay prepared and avoid surprises.

Check out this quick podcast filled with practical tips to help you navigate holiday festivities without stress. Andi breaks down how alcohol impacts blood sugar and offers easy strategies for enjoying your favorite drinks while staying on track.

 

Here are her top tips for drinking safely this festive season:

  • Plan Your Insulin Management: Alcohol can affect blood sugar unpredictably, so monitor closely and adjust your insulin as needed.
  • Keep Hypo Treatments on Hand: Be prepared for unexpected lows with a sugary drink or hypo treatments like Fast Acting GlucoChews.
  • Don’t Forget to Have a Meal: Pair drinks with a hearty meal to slow alcohol absorption and maintain stable blood sugar.

Wishing you a season filled with joy, good health, and well-managed blood sugars!
