November is Diabetes Awareness month! There are many of us impacted by diabetes and the world of elevated blood sugars. This month, Providence Health is hosting a series of classes around lifestyle and the things we can do to positively impact blood sugar.
It is all about eating smart and moving more. Keeping blood sugars in a healthy range can make you feel better, and give you more energy to do the things you enjoy. You control the diabetes/pre-diabetes by taking steps to learn more about the disease. The more you know, the better you are.
Using carbohydrate counting as a tool to help with blood sugar control can make a difference in how food choices affect you. It is not avoiding all carbs, but learning how to incorporate the best choices into your eating habits.
Try skipping the simple carbs altogether like replacing crackers with a firm piece of endive. Here’s a recipe to learn that trick.
Mix all ingredients together in mixing bowl and chill for two hours. Place 3 Tablespoons of crab salad in endive leaf cup and garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedge. Serve immediately.
