Of all the nutrients in your food, carbohydrates have the most effect on your blood sugar. We will discuss lower carb options for your favorite holiday dishes. With thoughtful planning, you can enjoy holiday meals and keep your numbers on track. Join Tanya Foster, BSN, RN, CDCES, and Marielena Cid, MSN, RN, CDCES, Manager, Eisenhower Diabetes Education Services, to learn how to craft a healthy meal plan.
