Can you have dessert with Diabetes?

YES! You can.  You can have a side of dessert with your diabetes.

Many people recently diagnosed with diabetes -- or even long-time sufferers -- feel they can't have dessert with their diabetes. 

But you CAN.

Not every day or with every meal.  But, if it someone's birthday or an office party or a special night out, you can have dessert.

Especially if the rest of your day's foods have been diabetes friendly -- whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies, lean protein -- not so many carbs.

Now, don't start your day with a donut at the office then have a roll with lunch and then decide to have dessert at a party later.  Wrong move.

But DO plan for that dessert later by being extra careful throughout the day.  If the dessert is really good...it'll be worth it.  And since dessert is meant to be a TREAT, not an everyday, eating this way will make you healthier, help you lose weight, and keep your diabetes under control.

So YES -- have some dessert with your diabetes.
