Loved being nice and cozy to film this #youtubevideo. Perfect timing to post this important topic on #sleep especially after hearing about a sleep and #diabetes study today. “Patients who reported adequate sleep were more likely to improve diabetes knowledge and diabetes outcomes and those with higher motivation to change, had more adequate sleep.” See #youtube link in bio. Thanks for choosing me for your #wellness giveaway @halfcupRD @mantasleep @numiorganictea #diabetesonlinecommunity #diabetesmanagement #goodnight #bedtimerituals #sleepmask #herbaltea @adcesdiabetes #adces20

Built a spinach salad w figs,slivered almonds, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic vinegar dressing for lunch today. Nutrition highlights...4 fresh figs =29g carbs; 4g fiber; 53mg calcium; 1mg iron; 348mg potassium 👏 Many fresh fig varieties in addition to dried figs 😋 #TDBox @cafigs @todaysdietitianmagazine #sponsoredmailing

Perfect pairing. We went kayaking this weekend but it had to be scheduled during the mealtime hours. No problem. I brought a chilled #Splenda Diabetes Care shake w a perfect combo of carbs (15g) and protein (16g) to keep my energy levels up. Result...Blood sugars stayed in target and we were able to see Roseate Spoonbill birds and manatees!
