Slow and steady wins the race.
Baby steps should set the pace.
There’s no need to rush to win,
Enjoy the journey that you’re in.
Things don’t happen overnight.
It takes time to get things right.
Sometimes it may seem too slow
To get to where you need to go.
Dealing with a chronic ill,
May seem like it’s all uphill.
Getting better from a stroke
Makes you feel like a slowpoke.
Lowering your a1c
May seem like an eternity.
Trying hard to lose some weight
Happens at a sluggish rate.
Changes that we make today
Won’t make a difference right away.
But if we practice patiently,
We’ll see results eventually.
Inch by inch the goal gets near
Even if it takes a year.
So don’t stop when you’re halfway there.
Set your sights, and persevere.
Slow and steady, inch by inch -
Do not blink and do not flinch.
It won’t happen instantly...
But in the end, you’ll win - you’ll see!

Do you know living with type 2 diabetes puts you at greater risk for heart disease and stroke? Unfortunately most people don’t. We want to help you get CLUED INN and make a healthy comeback worthy of Mariah Carey. Music critics agree that Mariah’s latest collection of songs not only maintains her status as one the best singer/songwriters in the game, but also eloquently displays her truth. She opens up about love, loneliness, and self-worth in a cautionary album that reminds us that she is still a force to be reckoned with after nearly three decades in the industry.
Diabetes Late Nite guests include: Poet Lorraine Brooks, Susan Weiner, MS RDN CDE FAADE, Mama Rose Marie, WeAreEatNeat.com’s Lloyd Owens, Type 2 Diabetes – What To Know Community member Nick Zevgolis, Yoga For Diabetes Director and Author Rachel Zinman and the Charlie’s Angels of Outreach. Throughout the podcast we will be playing music from Mariah Carey’s “CAUTION” courtesy of SONY Music.
Diabetes Late Nite is a fast-paced, full-filled hour of diabetes education and wellness advice that encourages listeners to “laugh a little, learn a lot.”
