CHEF TIMOTHY HEALTH


A moment on the lips, a not-


so-long lifetime on the hips Diabetes and holiday eating


by Dr. Timothy Moore Ph.D, N.M.D, C.N. Special to the Tri-State Defender


one of the main issues with holi- day food is cornbread dressing – which can be distressing. Theway cornbread dressing is made can raise a diabetic’s blood sugar to dangerous levels without them even realizing it. The doctor has told you that you could have cer- tain types of food and you be- lieved that. Before you realized it, you started taking a small amount of medicine. Now, if you think about it, you have gone from a low dose to the max and you still have all the problems of a dia- betic. Your doctor can’t watch you


the time of year again you spend with your family and friends; coming together for such a joyous time. That time when you enjoy eating turkey and dressing, peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, potato salad, cranberry sauce, polish sausages, chickenwings, and chit- terlings. These food choices you think are all right for you to eat maybe once or twice a year may not be so good for you after all. When dealing with diabetes,
