Holiday meals and busy schedules can make blood sugar control more challenging.

Eat balanced meals rather than skipping them to save room, choose smaller portions of favorite treats, stay active with walks, and keep checking your blood sugar.

Pin Tip

Bring a healthy dish to share so you know there is a good option available.

Work With Your Care Team

This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diabetes care is personal, so follow the targets, medications, and meal plan set by your doctor, diabetes educator, or dietitian.

Know the Emergency Signs

Call 911 if someone with diabetes becomes confused, cannot stay awake, has a seizure, or cannot safely swallow. Seek urgent care for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep rapid breathing, or a fruity breath odor.

Quick Reminder

Keep your diabetes supplies, snacks, and emergency contact information together in one easy to grab kit.
