Did you know that both dogs and cats can be diagnosed with diabetes?
They will have the same top symptoms as humans:
*excessive thirst + urination
*weight loss
*decreased appetite
* chronic infections

Uh oh, I forgot to film or photograph the steps to preparing the Rutabaga! I simply got too excited preparing it for our side dish at dinner tonight.
Easy peasy to prep:
1. peel rutabaga
2. Cut into cubes
3. Place in water to boil
4. When rutabaga is soft, drain from water and mash or leave cubed
5. Mix butter or margarine and it’s ready to serve!
1 cup cubed serving = 12 g carb; 3 grams fiber.

Rutabaga! When I mentioned we were growing this vegetable in our fall garden, several of you asked me “how does rutabaga grow?”
Here it is, a root veggie that is low in carb for the portion size you will get. 👏
Stay tune tomorrow to see how I prep this for a dinner side dish.

A Diabetes Journey Story:
I was standing in line to pay for my groceries today and an elderly man that was standing behind me said “excuse me, do you have diabetes?” My brain wasn’t into investigative mode and I first thought… he must have seen my photo and Column in Diabetic Living Magazine (remember we were in the grocery checkout line w all the magazines). Nah that’s not it, they stopped publishing that magazine. I was just staring at the man and then said yes I do have diabetes OH I’m showing my device ( my @omnipod insulin pump)! He said yes, he recognized it because his grandson was diagnosed at age 2 with type 1. We shared trials and triumph stories. I told him I’m a dietitian and diabetes educator; I wrote a diabetes book; I have a diabetes website and a YouTube channel to help others. I had been alone in this journey for a very long time. I was told to keep my diabetes a secret, and I did. The man reflected that he understood by saying yes, that’s how it used to be. Before parted, he asked me for the name of my website. DiabetesEveryDay because that is what it is. ❤️ when I got home w the groceries, I told my husband the story and cried. Why did I cry??? It’s because “I made it”, im@continuing to successfully navigate diabetes, a condition that throws you curve balls daily. And, I helped someone today as much as they helped me to be heard.

Are you sleeping well? Yay or nay? For those of us who have been diagnosed with diabetes, diabetes presents more barriers to sleeping well. 😩 click on the YouTube link in my bio to see my latest video that has solutions including comfy sleepwear designed by a person with type 1 diabetes specifically for people with wear insulin pumps and or CGMs. Love it. Btw, puppy Clark makes his video debut too!!

Thinking ahead for Thanksgiving. This idea isn’t about what to serve but how to make a creative centerpiece! I saw this @ncsweetpotatoes event. #fallfestive #centerpieces #thanksgivingtable #pumpkin
Quick dinner idea using delicious delicata squash that’s in season right now! This recipe is approximately 26 grams carb so there’s room for more veggies and a serving of whole grain ! #dinnerideas #tomatowelness #delicatasquash #diabetesfriendly #diabetes #diabetesfriendlyfood
Quick dinner idea using foods I had in my refrigerator. Just needed to buy the delicate squash. 👏. This recipe serves 4 people or 2 people with leftovers to serve the next night. 👍🏻👍🏻. Carbs approximately 25 grams so you can add more veggies and a serving of whole grains of your choice. We had a whole grain slice of pumpkin bread. #vegetarianrecipes #vegetables #delicatasquash #diabetesfriendly #diabetes #mealideas #diabetesmeals
Behind the (bedroom) scenes for the December Diabetes EveryDay YouTube video. FYI- dog crates aren’t usually stacked… we just needed more space to film. 😂

Diabetes Month is a busy time for diabetes educators to share information. If you’ve been following me, you know that I share the science and inspiration about diabetes management as I manage my diabetes along with you.
I attended the diabetes educator conference and was inspired by a presentation about meditation and mindfulness. A big aha moment to let y’all know you aren’t alone in this journey and how important it is to take care of ourselves w kindness. I share the details in my latest Us News blog. I’d love to hear how you show kindness to you!
