People with diabetes can still enjoy holiday dining by making some smart food choices and staying hydrated: 
Choose protein and fiber: Prioritize lean proteins like turkey, chicken and fiber-rich produce like avocados and beans.
Make substitutions: Swap out higher-carb foods with healthier options. For example, you can use mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables instead of green bean casserole. 
Control portion sizes: Use a smaller plate to save calories and fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables. 
Drink water: Stay hydrated by drinking water, tea, or seltzer instead of sugary drinks. 
Be active: Start a new holiday tradition that involves physical activity, like a walk, game, or dance. 
Ask about the menu: If you’re a guest, call ahead to ask what’s being served. 
Plan ahead: Strategize and limit stress where you can. 
Enjoy the day: Try to enjoy the festivities and don’t stress about perfection. 
Monitor your blood glucose levels.
