DIABETIC DIET TIP
Having Thanksgiving tomorrow, any healthy dessert on this blog is going to be always a better alternative than any other regular dessert out there full of refined sugars and additives. This is why Your Daily Nutrients started, to help you live deliciously healthy!
So this healthy recipe is no different! Even though this healthy Peanut Butter Fudge has some sugar content (the healthier sugar), a piece of this delicious healthy fudge it’s a great option! Remember to check you blood sugar levels before, during and after eating, specially because you will probably eat more than you’re used to.
In these type of family and friends gatherings, you will eat a big amount of carbohydrates, fats and protein mix, so your digestion will be quite slow… this means that your insulin might get into your bloodstream before your sugar and therefore experience an hypoglycemia. An important strategy to avoid shooting to much insulin before eating, is to do it gradually. Shoot half of the insulin dose before eating and the other half just when you finish eating. This will maintain a more stable blood glucose levels throughout the evening and night. Let us know if you have any questions about this!!!!
Remember that moderation is key ALWAYS! So now that Thanksgiving is here and Christmas is coming… I will give you some tips to be able to enjoy all the food and stay on track at the same time!

🇪🇸 Spanish:
FUDGE se le llama a este tipo de dulce, que viene a ser como un turrón realmente! Es muy típico aquí en Estados Unidos, pero los ingredientes que llevan son procesados, refinados, aditivos…
Así que he creado la versión saludable. Sigue siendo un dulce y hay que comerlo con moderación pero al menos lleva nutrientes, no como los tradicionales! :)
