Sounds nice to me !!! I don't drink alcohol ... never have ... so that bit will be easy too, Now who said it's a problem being a diabetic???? hee heeI spent 2 weeks on holiday in China in August and ate guess what - Chinese! Every day. I just avoided the sweet sauces and didn't overdo the rice and was fine. I will be cooking Christmas dinner for 14 this year so won't be cooking different for me, like a lot of others on here, cutting down on potatoes etc but extra turkey. No pud, find it too sweet anyway, will have cheese or maybe strawberries and cream (or both). All will be washed down with plenty of red wine. Merry Christmas ana a Happy and healthy New Year to one and all.
So my question do you decide sod it it's one or two days out 365 and just enjoy it and eat what you like but cut back on roasties and sweets etc or do you stick to your diets or what ever you do to help control it.
Well I had my Chinese Banquet last night with my lads. Had a few Coke Zeros to wash it down ( I was driving ) had a few after dinner chocolates I know it was naughty. Bloods before 5.6 and 2hrs after it was 7.3 so quiet pleased with that. Let's hope Xmas dinner is as forgiving to me
Merry Christmas every one
well I hate xmas dinners I don't like turkey. so for my dinner ive had a sandwich lettuce ,tomato,cucumber.with picled onion and half a scotch egg and I feel great , I ve never held xmas for 12 years now. I prefer boxing day were you can enjoy Buffet food.My first Christmas as a diabetic too ... but as my daughter doesn't like Roast potatoes (well ANY potatoes in fact), bread sauce, stuffing etc,
then this time I will have what she always has .... lots of turkey slices, lots and lots of fresh veggies nd no gravy
She doesn't ever have mince pies, xmas cake, or xmas pudd either. I think my daughter will make it easy for me, and of course there's always the raspberries and cream for afters
I will be having roasted lamb chops, roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus and a nice fresh salad. I feel the same as @Brunneria , I would be ill if I had any sort of carb fest. That's not enjoying my holiday. I will also be having a few drinks. All that being said, my meter never cuts me a break so I'll just be sticking with my normal foods. There are other ways to enjoy the holidays for me other than food.
That being said, it's just the two of us and I'm cooking so it makes it very easy. Not sure how I would handle a big family buffet. They cause me anxiety.[/Q
And then again maybe not.maybe I'll visit a friend and give her most of
The sweets .....
I suppose the partridge escaped because it was up in the pear tree.Xmas dinner for me was too much. Had it on a 12 inch plate and on it was slices of beef, chicken and ham, plenty of cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage sprouts with bacon bits, 2 Yorkshire puds, 4 pigs in blankets, 3 roast potatoes and a big spoonful of mash, topped with beef gravy.
Had a few bottles of Budweiser, couple of drinks of spiced rum and diet coke, tequila shots and Xmas punch.
Today I'm at my cousin's to have some more drinks and some party food.
