Thanksgiving for a JD

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  So, today is a day that comes every year when everyone stuffs their faces!  Well, what about the people who have JD?  Are they able to stuff their faces?  Well, I hope so, because I sure stuff my face, hehe!  As long as I make sure that I count the carbohydrates I eat for everything, which will be hard, I will be fine.  The reason why it is hard to count the carbohydrates for everything is because all of the food is mostly homemade, so I cannot just read the back of a food label and see how many carbohydrates there are under 'nutritional values'.  Turkey has no carbohydrates because it is protein.  Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, gravy, stuffing, apple and pumpkin pie, and everything else is loaded with carbohydrates, so I must be careful!  It seems that when I eat carbohydrates like potatoes, stuffing, pizza, bagels, etc., my sugar goes high hours later; I must check my sugar hourly today.

Have a great Thanksgiving, all!
