All my life I have had issues
with my weight fluctuating up and down, never knowing... Why?
I have always followed a Standard American Diet (SAD, there must be a reason that it spells this word). I found comfort in food as many of us do which lead to a bigger problem, my weight.

Emotional eating is an issue
that many of us face without ever realizing that it is affecting us in the many
ways that it does.
My family history is a mess, my mom is a type 1 diabetic and has been since before I was born, my dad was a type 2 diabetic later in life, and myself with all of my siblings are type 2 diabetics. So yes we are genetically dis-positioned to being diabetic.

Growing up in home with a
diabetic is an education in itself. Knowing that eventually this disease
will take its hold and you will have to give up the things that so many of us
enjoy, cake, French fries, bread, pasta, etc makes you dread the aging
process.
Making wiser choices is hard when the grocery and food markets are always pushing the “quick fix” answer to meal preparations.

So please join me in my
journey to better choices that do not spike my blood sugars and enable me to be
on no to low doses of medication to control this disease.
