💭What cookies can a diabetic eat?
The holiday season is filled with sweet treats, including tons of delicious holiday cookies. However, if you’re diabetic, most easy cookie recipes are off limits throughout the Christmas season. .
Holiday parties can be stressful for diabetics as well due to the abundance of sugary foods. It's likely there will be tempting dishes such as cakes, cookies, pies, candies, chocolates, which can cause disruption in a diabetic’s blood sugar levels if consumed in large amounts.
For this reason, it is beneficial for diabetics to plan ahead by baking diabetic friendly Christmas cookies and bringing a plate to share to holiday gatherings so they don’t feel deprived of festive treats.
Who knows? There might be other people at the party that will enjoy the cookies as well.

Other desserts and recipes you can prepare when hosting a holiday party to make sure everyone's dietary needs are met:

- Pudding & Custard: Pudding and custard provide diabetics with a yummy yet sugar free dessert option - simply replace the sugar in recipes with artificial sweeteners or substitute them altogether for sugar free versions of pudding and custard mixes available at most grocery stores.
