World Diabetes Day !

Second blog post of the day, the last one was brought to you by ‘gratitude’ - however this one is brought to you by Diabetes.

For those of you who don’t know, today is World Diabetes Day. Which is a harsh reality, that every 6 seconds someone dies.

CRAZY, HUH?!?

While the number of people who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is on the up, over 70%… YES, SEVENTY PERCENT of these cases are preventable, by eating healthy, fresh, nutritious food - AS WELL, as getting active! 

Diabetes is something that has plagued my family ( on both bloodlines ), and for a while.. i used to say “ i’ll most likely get diabetes, I’m genetically plagued” lol ( until my mom put me in my place…*thanks mom* 

But, in all seriousness - Let’s help raise the awareness of this disease, so we can slow down the increasing number who are affected by it world wide !!

If you don’t know WHAT diabetes is, or you don’t really know the basics about it.. I found this SUPER simple, SUPER dumbed down, SUPER SHORT… KIDS version of the important stuff you need to know about diabetes. 

Do you have diabetes or know someone who has diabetes? I would love to find some more diabetic recipes / food options, leave a comment if you have any suggestions for me.
