How to Survive the Work Christmas Party

It's That Time of Year Again

I imagine that the Christmas Party season is in full swing right now and so I thought I would share some useful tips for surviving the work Christmas Party.

For the last few years my work Christmas Party has been a buffet dinner (all you can eat) and I took great pleasure in it but it is important to watch what you eat and try to count the carbs in an outside environment. This year the Christmas Party is a sit down meal, two different entrees and mains and it is an alternate drop menu so you basically eat what's in front of you.

All you can eat or a sit down meal it can be hard to count the carbohydrates, you don't have the measuring cups to guide you. You simply guess the amount of carbohydrates and hope for the best.

So here are some tips to guide you and hopefully survive the work Christmas Party;

1. Ask your employer what the menu will be for the Party, at least then you can plan a head.
2. Arrange a lift to and from the Party if you can, it will save you driving especially if you have a drink or two.
3. When it comes to giving insulin for your meal just do the best that you can and if a few hours after the meal your bgl's are under 10mmol then good for you.
4. If you do drink alcohol make sure you have it with food.
5. Stay hydrated especially now it is Summer time.
6. I will say keep an eye on your Blood Glucose Levels and have fun.

Those are my six tips for surviving the work Christmas Party, I hope these tips will be useful to someone out there during the Party season.

I hope everyone is having a great week so far and I will have a new post up on Sunday,

Until next time
