Managing health issues such as pre-diabetes or type-2 diabetes during the holidays can be especially difficult. Sticking to the following habits can be helpful:

1. Choose foods with fiber, such as whole-grains

2. Limit cocktails, especially mixed drinks. Stick with a glass of wine or shot of unsweetened hard liquor

3. Choose magnesium rich foods such as nuts, beans and spinach

During these holidays stick with your healthy eating as much as possible. Keep the special treats to a small serving or taste. As health issues do not take a holiday!
