November is American Diabetes Month – a perfect time to focus on healthy eating, especially as we head into the holiday season!

Making informed food choices is one of the most powerful ways to support your health. And while the holidays can bring lots of tempting treats, it’s also a great opportunity to sneak in healthier ingredients without losing flavor or tradition.

🥦 Build your plate around non-starchy vegetables
🍗 Choose lean proteins and plant-based protein sources
🍎 Include quality carbohydrates like fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and starchy veggies
🚫 Cut back on added sugars
🥑 Incorporate healthy fats
📉 Limit processed foods
💧 Choose water or zero-calorie beverages

Small, consistent choices – even subtle holiday swaps – can make a meaningful difference in managing diabetes and supporting long-term wellness. Together, we can make this season both joyful and healthy. ❤️
