Not For Diabetics Only

Yesterday was 19th Annual American Diabetic Alert (r) as sponsored by the ADA (American Diabetic Association)

What does that mean to you? Probably nothing if you aren't diabetic or don't live with one. But there are many people out there that don't even know that they are diabetic. I didn't know; I found out accidentally. So if you have a minute, take this easy Diabetic Risk Test. It's much healthier to know and get it under control than to go undiagnosed.

Now just because you are diabetic doesn't mean you cannot eat any of your favorite foods anymore. You can pretty much have anything you like depending on what it is, in moderation. And with all the healthy choices out there and Sugar-Free recipes to choose from, as long as you read the ingredients and nutrition information, you cannot go wrong. The best part is that if just eat healthy, not only can you eat the same things as your family and not have labeled 'diabetic food', but you become healthier and keep your diabetes under control.

Since all the rage is now for healthier living, it's not surprising that most of the healthier choices for meals include many things that are appropriate for diabetics. Just be smart about what you eat, which is really good advice for anyone, not just diabetics.
