The holiday season is upon us! Family, friends, and above all (especially in the United States) food! For many people, the holidays represent not only a gathering of family and friends, but a gathering of many of the high carb, high sugar, high fat foods we love, all in one place. This can present a challenge for people with Diabetes: counting carbs, timing insulin, correction boluses, and of course DESSERT. So we have enlisted the help of celebrity chef and LADA Diabetic Mila Clarke-Buckley The Hangry Woman, to create a menu of Holiday Recipes for People with Diabetes.
