When my husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and his doctor added cholesterol and blood pressure meds, our whole idea of Thanksgiving shifted almost overnight. The foods we had always loved suddenly felt a little scary, so I started reworking our favorite sides, mains, and desserts into diabetes-friendly Thanksgiving recipes that still feel cozy and familiar. Now our table leans on simple swaps, like olive oil instead of butter and Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream, to cut sugar and refined carbs while boosting fiber, protein, and healthy fats that help keep his blood sugar steadier. Are you ready for the best delicious diabetes-friendly Thanksgiving recipes to impress 2025?
