What is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome is a combination of several medical issues. Together they increase your chance of developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The condition is also known as insulin resistance syndrome. According to a national health survey, more than 1 in 5 Americans has metabolic syndrome

Insulin resistance means that the body does not use insulin efficiently to lower glucose and triglyceride levels. A combination of hereditary, genetic and lifestyle factors may result in insulin resistance.

Divabetic’s Carb Kitty Game Videos

Divabetic‘s Carb Kitty game videos make carbohydrate counting fun!

Carbohydrate counting, or “carb counting,” can help you manage your blood glucose levels.

Foods that contain carbohydrates raise your blood glucose values. By monitoring the amount of carbohydrates you eat can help to better understand your blood glucose levels.

Carbohydrates (“carbs”) can be counted 2 ways: by grams or by carb choices.

Remember: 1 carb choice = 15 grams of carbohydrate.

The golden rule of treating hypoglycemia know as ‘15–15 rule’—have 15 grams of carbohydrate to raise your blood sugar and check it after 15 minutes. If it’s still below 70 mg/dL, have another serving. Repeat these steps until your blood sugar is at least 70 mg/dL. Once your blood sugar is back to normal, eat a meal or snack to make sure it doesn’t lower again.

We’re talking about a ‘New Year, New You‘ attitude about living with diabetes with musical inspiration from Aaliyah on Divabetic’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast.

Although Aaliyah died at the age of 22 and had a short music career due to her early passing, the singer’s music helped to redefine R&B, pop, and even hip-hop. And her legacy continues to live on. Her hard work ethic, creativity, and her sweet demeanor have inspired fans over the past two decades.

Diabetes Late Nite podcast guests include Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, Pendulum Therapeutics CEO and Co-Founder Colleen Cutcliffe, Ph. D., (the maker of Pendulum Glucose Control), Virginia Valentine, APRN, BC-ADM, CDE, FAADE, Dr. Darren Wayne from MealBetix and Yoga For Diabetes Author Rachel Zinman.

Throughout the podcast we will be featuring music from Aaliyah’s Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number album courtesy of SONY Music.
