I have diabetes. I've had it for many years but because I am the Queen of DeNial I haven't taken proper care of myself. That's all about to change. I'm embarking on a journey to health. You're invited to come along.
Diabetes is a disease that affects the whole family. Eating well-balanced meals is an essential part of taking better care of yourself and the family. I'm hoping to make it fun?
The challenge for me is eating well-balanced meals in the correct amounts. I love good food! I've come to the conclusion that what causes many people to overeat has nothing to do with being hungry. I think it's the desire to continue the taste experience. You know - the 'Oh my goodness, this is sooo good' experience. So you continue eating beyond the "Fill" line. If we want to keep the glucose monster from rising then we've got to know when to hold up.
Using various recipes found in diabetic cookbooks and suggestions from my support team -you- I'm making a lifestyle change and challenging others to do the same.
I'm sleepy right now, so I'll take my meds, go to bed, and start anew tomorrow.
