The holidays are depressing times for some people. We think everyone else is partying with a loving family, while we don’t have family, or don’t like them, or they are far away. Diabetes doesn’t help.
You might feel the weight of diabetes more at this time, because you can’t let go and celebrate like everyone else. Or maybe you do let go and then beat yourself up over it.
Need some inspiration and advice to stay on track with your diabetes wellness goals this holiday season?
Tune in to Divabetic’s free Diabetes Late Nite podcast available on demand featuring holiday music by the sensational singer, Leona Lewis. Our podcast guests include Diabetes Alert Dog Trainer & Scent Detection Expert Debby Kay, Mindful Eating Expert Megrette Fletcher RD CDE, the Charlie’s Angels of Outreach, and ‘The Secrets to Living & Loving With Diabetes’ Author Janis Roszler RD, CDE, LDN.
Additionally, Emmy Award winning Producer Linda Bracero Morel, who is living with type 2 diabetes, shares her remarkable weight loss journey, Poet Lorraine Brooks provides wordy wisdom and Mama Rose Marie offers some motherly adivce.
One of Mama Rose Marie’s helpful tips is to start visiting neighbors, former co-workers, and older family members who are shut in during the holiday season. Help someone shop, escort them to doctors appointments (and take notes) and/or drive them to social activies like bridge. Please open your heart and share love and companionship to a population that is in need.
