Here is some menus, recipes and holiday dishes appropriate to maintain the diabetic diet. Being a diabetic does not mean that you can not enjoy a good dinner with the family. You can eat well and health care. To do this we offer some general advice and some dishes designed for people with diabetes (both insulin dependent or not).

Tips:

The drinks contain too much sugar alcohol especially spirits, be careful with that, you can drink a glass of cider or champagne, but it is best that you refrain from liquor. There are some apple liqueur, peach, etc. without alcohol and without sugar, you can have a glass of this.
During dinner takes diet soda or light, and if you drink non-alcoholic beer is better because it contains less sugar.
Do not skip meals! Sometimes we are tempted to skip a snack or meal for dinner thinking it will be strong, that in diabetics is counterproductive because it affects the blood glucose curve , ie the balance to the body must maintain levels of glucose, therefore, you can make meals before and after the day of lighter, but not saltartelas.
Take the same dose of your treatment. If you take pills (oral agents) do not you increase the dose, that could throw off your blood sugar levels negatively. If you inject insulin and have a device
to measure blood sugar (glucose meter) maybe you can check with your doctor the possibility of increasing one unit of insulin rapid or mixed (always under medical advice!).
