If you want to get oats into your diet but you don't like eating a bowl of oatmeal, put them in your muffins and have one for breakfast. You can take any muffin recipe and add as much oats as possible, and throw in some cinnamon for an extra diabetes-fighting punch!

 

If you're looking for a salty snack but your diabetes is holding you back, look no further than a jar of olives! They're a fruit, tasty, healthy, and fun to eat. You can cut them up and put them in salads, or even on a sandwich! I love to make a homemade submarine sandwich and sprinkle some on top. YUM!

 

Herbal tea is a great drink for diabetics as it contains many wonderful nutrients and can taste so good you don't even think about adding cream or sugar. Be sure to check the ingredients as some manufacturers will add sugar or artificial sweeteners.

It can be hard to get enough exercise in when you're traveling, so plan for some hiking or walks to explore your new environment. Go swimming in the hotel pool, or even take an hour at the gym. Walking through the mall or a museum can even serve as some extra movement.

 

If you have a family member or loved one suffering with diabetes, it's vitally important that you offer your help and support to ease their struggle. Sometimes little things such as joining along for doctor appointments, educating yourself with books and website information or just offering a listening ear can all help your loved one feel less alone.

Check grocery flyers to find out what is on sale this week and then use that for as many meals as possible. For example, if chicken is on sale, then you should try to eat chicken for at least four meals. Also, check out what vegetables and bread are on sale, as well, and stock up.
