The struggle is real.

Living with diabetes

Living with Diabetes is a daunting and tiring task. Most of my life I have watched family members, and friends deal with this disease. My mother herself actually passed away from diabetes complications. Watching a family member, friend or yourself deal with a disease that you never asked for and ultimately fight to survive on a daily basis is a testimony many across the world are plagued with.

When today’s economy makes fast food an easy option on every corner it is hard to stay on track and keep your sugars in line. Learning and alleviating your triggers from your daily food consumption is an absolute must. One thing that I have learned through research is that limiting your carb and sugar intake is integral to successfully living with diabetes.

What are the first signs of being diabetic?

Carb Counting

Do you know what foods have the biggest impact on diabetes?

That’s right foods that have high carbohydrates. As a diabetic, it is important to track your daily carbohydrate intake because carbohydrates ultimately turn into glucose/sugar in your bloodstream. Now That is not saying that you can not have a little cheat every once in a while. However you do have to keep tabs on your sugar, and carb intake to live healthily.

Exercise

Exercising is keen. Staying physically active will not only help you lose weight, but it will also help your body burn carbohydrates. I know I know, I hate exercising also but honestly I feel great once I get into a daily rhythm. Purchasing gym equipment is expensive and may not even be within your budget and if you are anything like me who has the extra room for all of the bulky equipment? The easiest and least expensive thing to do is “GO OUTSIDE AND MOVE”. Take a walk through your neighborhood or at the local park. Either way it is a good way to be active and also tire out the kiddos.
