The wedding season is in full swing in India right now and with it being one of the happiest times for most families, there is going to be a lot of food and drink. While consuming them isn't a problem, overindulgence of sweets and refreshments is often higher than usual on numerous occasions.  

With relatives saying "muh meetha kijiye" (sweeten your mouth) at every opportunity, this can be a tricky time for some people trying to stay healthy - particularly for people living with diabetes. For them, finding healthy food choices to manage their diabetes can be a big challenge in the face of samosas, tikkis, gulab jamun, and ladoos. However, this doesn't mean the wedding buffet - and preceding events - will not have any food you can consume.

Planning ahead and making wise choices will help you find the right mix between taking part in the festivities and managing your diabetes, helping you avoid any unexpected blood sugar highs or lows. Here are some suggestions for controlling your diabetes during this period.
