Holi Alert: Diabetics Must Avoid These 5 Mistakes to Control Blood Sugar

• Don't skip breakfast; eat a healthy, high-fiber meal before playing Holi to prevent blood sugar fluctuations.
• Avoid market sweets like gujiya due to refined sugar/maida; opt for homemade sugar-free alternatives.
• Stay hydrated with plain water, lemon water, or buttermilk; avoid sugary drinks like Thandai.
• Never miss medication or insulin doses; set alarms and take them on time despite festive changes.
• Steer clear of alcohol and fried foods; choose healthy snacks like roasted makhana or salads.
