I received a special request from one of my readers to blog about Diabetes. This isn’t a typical topic for me, but it’s a topic that’s close to my heart and I’m eager to share with you all what I’ve found.
My paternal grandmother had Diabetes (also known as “suga” for the old school folk… lol). I have great memories of her; Oh how I love that lady. She was so loving and caring. She taught me so much about carrying myself as a lady. Many of my memories, however, are clouded by her health complications. As far back as I can remember, all of her health complications, in one way or another, stemmed from diabetes.
This request was timely, because I was learning about diabetes in one of my classes. I know that reading the chapter in my textbook does not, by any means, make me an expert or specialist on diabetes. So I did a little research, and stumbled upon the American Diabetes Association website. Their website is awesome. There is so much helpful information available to answer any question you may have about diabetes.
I love all of the tools they have, but my favorite tool (which I think is quite helpful by the way) is the “Planning Meals” tool found under the “Food & Fitness” tab. It provides awesome ideas for a quick breakfast, holiday meals, and great snacks. Just to name a few.
I also came across the American Heart Association website which has some tasty diabetic-friendly recipes. You can view them by clicking here.
Hope this blog is helpful!
Love you guys
