Thanksgiving dinner, I cannot wait.  I am trying to drop about 5-7 pounds before Thanksgiving rolls around because I know I will put on close to that amount on that day.  I have been reading over so many tips for a diabetes Thanksgiving, and some of them are good, but then some I know are just unrealistic for me.

One of the things I can do is bring my own sugar free dessert that way I know for a fact there will be something sugar free for me.  Well I am not a big dessert fan anyway, good thing since I’m not supposed to be eating them.

Some other websites I read says to eat before you go to the big meal.  Why would I want to eat something before Thanksgiving dinner, thats why its Thanksgiving, its a one time a year event that I want to eat that special food.  And a lot of it.

Well, if anybody has some other tips on how I can enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner without having to worry about all kinds of crazy stuff, please let me know.  My idea is to just make sure I have A LOT of insulin.  I have some pens for emergencies when the pump is not working, so maybe I can use those.
