Paula Deen and Diabetes

pd2

I knew it was coming; I gritted my teeth for as long as I could…

Paula Deen is a diabetic … shocker!

A cookbook the ADA was pimping recently.

First let’s look at a few facts.

1) 90% of diabetics fail at maintaining normal blood sugar, if you doubt that… read this post. “90% Fail“.  I truly think the number is much higher than that…. but this is the medical industry’s numbers.

If so, I would urge you to read this post and consider other options, an article below states the tests are inaccurate for children. I’ll also discuss an . . . → Read More: A1C not Accurate for Children! Thanks ADA

Diabetes Fundraising over Education?

ada $

Please bear with me during the first part of this post… please?

… I am in an ill mood!

“Why?”, you ask.

November is  ’diabetes awareness month’.

Seemingly every literate person on the planet is ‘aware’ of diabetes. It’s in the news, it’s on commercials… how can anyone NOT be aware of diabetes???

food24a

Serving size matters …  that is.

The American Diabetes Association or as I like to refer to them… American Diabetes Ass., likes to tell everyone that they do not promote a high carb meal plan.  Sadly, many diabetics believe them.

To some degree the ADA is able to ‘get away with this’ thanks to TINY serving . . . → Read More: Size Matters….

November is Diabetes Awareness Month… ha!

This is an update to a post I did last year.  Nothing has changed much… it still is relevant to the diabetes situation.

Key “Take Away Points”

Who benefits from this recipe, Diabetics?

I truly love the quote in the picture to the right.

It can and has applied to many situations … but could not be more true than today…especially as it relates to dietary policy.

Preface

I have nothing against Vegetarians, Vegans etc … I actually attempted Veganism before my diabetes diagnosis.  I tried many times… but never went an entire day without eating meat.

I do believe they are misguided from a nutritional standpoint but I truly wish them all well.

I love to experiment with different meal . . . → Read More: Et tu… Fox News = Vegan Diet for Diabetes?
