The holidays are a time of busy schedules, get-togethers and lots of food. If you have diabetes, it can be a tricky time of year.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these suggestions:

• Stick to your regular plans for exercise, diet and sleep schedule as much as possible.
• Eat regularly throughout the day, and use only a small plate.
• Fill up first on fruits, veggies and healthy fare, avoiding heavier recipes and alcohol.
• Check blood sugar often, ideally more often than usual.
