How can you stay a happy diabetic around the holidays? It can seem like a daunting task with so many food-centric celebrations. Chef Robert shares his plan for staying in the holiday spirit while sticking to your nutrition plan:

At parties, eat in phases. First fill your plate with fruits, veggies, and lean meats. Then go for the crackers and starches. Finally, take your pick of one dessert (not one of each!). Don’t make all your holiday gatherings about food. Remember, don’t eat like it’s your LAST MEAL!
