Ok it's the 4th of July, the whole family are getting together. The grill will be smoking up the back yard . I can smell it already. Now ya know, that you are gonna be tempted to eat . Which you can, but, make sure that what your about to eat will agree with you. Being, a diabetic, also I have to lay down the ground rules for eating too. I will share my secrets and hope that they will work for you. Most, people I know will start a cookout in the evening when the sun has gone down a bit. You have to remember that if your on medication and some medications don't allow you to be in the direct sun. So please my friend, use sunscreen and avoid the sun as much as possible. If there is some shade , please go find it. You can enjoy the festivities too. Remember that you can have fun too. Don't let me see you sitting in the house ok. Now, while eating, eat small portions and please take your meds. Always take your meds, even if your feeling ill. Drink plenty of water. water is a great way to stay hydrated and it will make you feel better while out in the shade. If you need to rest your feet , use with a stool or another chair to help with any swelling. With the family BBQ's going, you are tempted to eat, you can but, remember the portions , again I must remind you. You can eat anything, eat smaller portions. If your gonna be playing some music ,you can do a little two step. It's great exercise and will help you blood sugars to drop, then you can eat some more BBQ. It doesn't matter what type of dance you do as long as you can do it and have fun. If you can do the Moonwalk do that too. Have fun and enjoy. Have a safe and healthy and happy 4th of July. cindycare.
