Diabetes affects millions of people around the world. It is essential to remain aware of the necessary methods and practices to lead a healthy life while living with the disease. It can be challenging to maintain this during the holidays, especially for seniors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>November is #DiabetesAwarenessMonth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Management of diabetes can be done with the proper approach, and for seniors, it can be helpful to have professional <a style=\"color: #000000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/in-home-elder-care-services\/transition-services\/\">home health care<\/a> assistance. The changes required to manage blood sugar levels can be implemented into everyday lifestyle changes. During the holidays, there are a few things that aging seniors can do to ensure that their levels stay at a healthy range.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Three Tips to Support<\/strong> <strong>Diabetes Management for Seniors<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #1. Eat Smart:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Holidays are about family, friends, parties, time off work, spiritual reflections, and lots of good food. Seniors must take precautions and continue to eat smart during the holidays. This means making healthy food choices and not skipping meals. There is no green light to overindulge because you\u2019ve missed a meal. Not eating sensibly throughout the day can cause diabetics to make poor food choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #2. Exercise:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Take the time to exercise or work out during the holidays for successful home health care. Diabetes does not take the holidays off. It becomes more important to watch your levels due to the possibility of eating the wrong foods and missing out on regular workout routines. Take morning walks, use the treadmill that\u2019s collecting dust, and stay moving whenever possible. Set out at least an hour each day to implement physical activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #3. Alcohol Awareness: <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">This is a reminder to watch the alcohol intake. Remember, it is okay to drink over the holidays. Take inventory of what you are drinking and how much you are consuming. If you attend multiple dinners or parties within a week, skip the alcohol from time to time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Seniors should rely on their home healthcare assistants to help them maintain good habits during the holiday season. These professionals are aware of the effect that diabetes has on the health of aging adults. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Holidays can be miserable for seniors if they become ill due to a lack of attention to their diabetes. Careful maintenance and habits ensure that the holidays will be happy, and the new year will be filled with prosperity and good health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
