Although the foodie inside anyone can awaken during the festivities, it is equally important not to let your health take a backseat, especially in case of diabetics. Binging on sweets can lead to high sugar levels which can have long term complications. We have curated a list of 5 easy ways to manage diabetes during Ganesh Chaturthi-<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/jFsftXOy_uLoA84hTLhr6zoMePSfCVSSvMNlQBfeujPqOF1hWBSBlhaYtbJ-DUG5tE5UHdi7c8wmH1nDYm5pQm9HIiD7Zg6v9CGm5C4cKNVlqgppDAc4JnJqo28wp20UuUw0DN6U\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.lcb4nzttuoww\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Portion_size_is_the_key\"><\/span><span class=\"c1\">1. &nbsp; &nbsp; Portion size is the key<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">The key to effective diabetes management is portion size, and that applies to all types of food. Therefore, while you are indulging in desserts and sweets, keep in mind the portion size. One of the ways to do that is by sharing the sweets with someone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">Another thing to keep in mind during festivities is timing. It is best recommended to keep a gap of 4 hours between your desserts. This can not only help in managing diabetes during festivities but also won\u2019t let you overindulge in sweets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.62k4efs8hgch\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Eat_healthy_sweets_made_out_of_natural_sugar\"><\/span><span class=\"c1\">2. &nbsp; &nbsp; Eat healthy sweets made out of natural sugar<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">Another way to enjoy this festival is by opting for healthy desserts made out of natural sugar. Although sugar in its natural form is also not &nbsp;recommended for diabetics. It is still better to consume processed sugar due to it\u2019s composition of fibre and other nutrients. Modaks made out of jaggery, dates or figs can be a substitute for sugar-coated modaks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">Jaggery is known to be rich in iron and helps in cleansing the toxins present in the body. Likewise, figs are another great sugar substitute that provides energy to the body.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/W9smkC-9UAgYvcGbyBMkPiSOIg9h8LxJuF5BJvOuSKz5PX1YvTOjCifUSDX7oVN42yY4SrJlqZU7GBt3yZnc41OZd6WJg0vQGHlAVIH9mqtT11272S-cGUDxS6IvDyvCZmOexZnP\" alt=\"Long term goals - Ganesh Chaturthi\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.n64yuzh37jzs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dont_forget_your_long-term_goals\"><\/span><span class=\"c1\">3. &nbsp; &nbsp; Don&#8217;t forget your long-term goals<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">Festivities are a time when we often forget our long-term health goals. Therefore, remaining careful during festivals and adopting a healthy lifestyle throughout will help you in effective diabetes management. Do not skip your workouts or give up on your food choices with an excuse of festivities. Instead, it is best to exercise more during these festivities to keep your sugar levels in check.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">It is also essential to understand that only remaining thoughtful about your food choices during festivals can\u2019t be sufficient. If you are not adopting a healthy lifestyle throughout the year, it will not be possible to fulfil your long-term goals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/YTh2TDaelBG8e2y30bHrmjhTvWgu234Nr5eTWt6wM7IcyJNGs3b4yOZYmOJE3lqPYik0jSWW4MueKnsO1w2sHRgUUvUK5aSGsrEumbuOJoZT4rC8wM4IIw-MYOBjNXtfJzFBG9vr\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.prrxftw6k1i\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Gorge_on_healthy_food\"><\/span><span class=\"c1\">4. &nbsp; &nbsp; Gorge on healthy food<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">There are a lot of people who gorge on unhealthy foods during Ganesh Chaturthi. From modaks and puri-bhaji to aloo wadi and puran polis, it becomes difficult to keep away from these delicacies. However, to keep your health intact, it is equally important to choose and gorge on healthy foods.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">One way of doing this is by replacing your unhealthy food with healthy food. For instance, if you are indulging in desserts, then make room for a healthy lunch or dinner. As mentioned above, opting for desserts made out of natural sugar can keep your sugar levels under control.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/gVk2ZSJ9F4j8fyFP7kLqhmz5Xd-1SjRHbCwnh6Na2wXnHRvocC5-ltPvaB1IDdSom-PnXKli0Pp1MX35N--qO1b0AOjNyk1NF51fV-aW8oL35C-OgdnsVt9K9q1g5vfpig31yn1L\" alt=\"Monitor your sugar levels - Ganesh Chaturthi\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.2t57tf32sqkg\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Monitor_your_sugar_levels_at_regular_intervals\"><\/span>5. &nbsp; &nbsp; Monitor your sugar levels at regular intervals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2\">Just because you are enjoying Ganesh Chaturthi does not mean you will not monitor your sugar levels. In fact, your sugar levels can fluctuate more often during the festivities. It is advisable to check your blood&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c2\">sugar levels<\/span><span class=\"c2\">&nbsp;bef<\/span><span class=\"c2\">ore and after a meal to see if you can eat a dessert after that or not.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.sag0dqevhvyl\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ganesh_Chaturthi_and_Diabetes_Management\"><\/span><span class=\"c1\">Ganesh Chaturthi and Diabetes Management<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.t804bnvvx52x\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_that_you_know_the_ways_of_managing_diabetes_during_the_festival_here_are_a_few_tips_to_make_the_festival_healthier\"><\/span><span class=\"c6 c2\">Now that you know the ways of managing diabetes during the festival, here are a few tips to make the festival healthier:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2\">&#8211; Modaks are one of the most prominent sweets during Ganesh Chaturthi that can\u2019t be left uneaten. Although the dessert is steamed and not fried, one way of making it healthy is to&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c5\">replace sugar with jaggery<\/span><span class=\"c6 c2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2\">&#8211; When making puris to eat with shrikhand or potato curry, it is advisable to&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c5\">bake it instead of deep-frying<\/span><span class=\"c2 c6\">&nbsp;them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">&#8211; One of the most typical dishes of Maharashtra is puran poli. Made out of yellow or red gram along with coconut, jaggery, and ghee, the dish is a sweet flatbread. To make it healthy, one can substitute with wheat flour and minimize the quantity of ghee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c6 c2\">As mentioned above, Ganesh Chathurthi celebrates the birthday of Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Likewise, let us also work towards our goal of health and not let diabetes management become an obstacle during our celebration. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":9206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[628],"tags":[8],"class_list":["post-3973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-popular-stories","tag-diabetes-management"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3973"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3973"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19354,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3973\/revisions\/19354"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
