Diabetes During The Holidays: How Do You Transcend?

December 8, 2016

The holidays are here! Music is in the air and the smell of cinnamon seems to be everywhere. While we absolutely love this time of year, we know that it can also be a major source of stress. It’s so easy to get caught up in caring for others and planning the perfect celebrations that we forget to give ourselves the same level of care we give to those we love. With everything going on, the added stress of managing your diabetes during the holidays can be taxing.

This season we challenge you to take a step back and focus on self-care. Happy, healthy holidays are easy when you put your own needs first. Take an extra moment for yourself—go for a run or spend some time reading and you’ll be able to enjoy all the festivities to the fullest instead of snapping under the stress of this busy time for travel and shopping. Take Transcend along while you’re out and about for added peace of mind! Treat yourself to your favorite diabetic supplies without worry this season.

So, go ahead and splurge on your favorite diabetic supplies and pick out some special treats specifically for those looking to avoid sugar and carbs. We’ve got some terrific holiday dessert recipes and healthier baking swaps to make it easier for you on our Holiday Pinterest board. We’ve also got thoughtful gift ideas for diabetics, yoga poses for stress relief, workout ideas to get you motivated for a new year, and to keep you calm and relaxed so you’re ready to tackle your resolutions!
