'Tis the Season!
For all the pumpkins, spices, crackling fires and... The Thanksgiving Dinner. Many see Thanksgiving as the ultimate holiday -- family, friends(giving), football, Black Friday sales -- what's not to love?
But for us PWD (people with diabetes), the Thanksgiving meal has the potential to be a major stressor.
All those carbs floating around (sourdough bread stuffing, sweet buttered rolls, endless cranberry fixings, the list is long...) will send our sugars soaring and put us in the ultimate post-meal food-coma.

No need to fret over the feast! These recipes are sure to keep you and your blood sugars happy and healthy. Winner, winner, chicken(turkey)-dinner!
