Type 2 diabetics are one of the groups that have the most risk in the Christmas season due to the special care they must have with their diet, but without abandoning the treatment and care guidelines that follow throughout the year they can enjoy the same as the rest ofThe celebrations.

Controlling food is one of the main keys.It is necessary to make some custom adjustments in the Christmas menus, which are usually rich in fats and sugars.In addition to these modifications, it is recommended not to skimNutritionist Martina Miseachs.

The expert has advised that "in the first dishes it is convenient to opt for light dishes, such as a consommé, a soup or a vegetable cream."As for the latter, he has recommended not abusing those foods rich in fats and moderating the amounts."The ideal is to follow a recipe based on fish or white meat and accompany it with vegetables, in addition to betting on whole wheat bread, which is healthier," Miserachs added.

As for desserts, they must be replaced by healthier options such as fruit, as they are loaded with sugar, carbohydrates and fats.In this sense, nougat, polvorones and mazapanes are indisputable protagonists of these parties, and although diabetics should not abuse them, they can consume them in moderation.

In these dates, alcohol intake is usually increased, which provides a large number of calories and can worsen glycemic control.It is recommended to drink water before any alcoholic beverage, but "if you opt for drinks with alcohol, it is better to be ingested during meals and that the fermented or low graduation type (beer, cava, wine) are preferred to the distilled(whiskey, liquors) ", has advised dietitian-nutritionist.

In addition to controlling what is eaten and drink, diabetics are recommended to check the blood sugar levels more frequently to avoid decompensations of pathology after the copious Christmas entries.
