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.
Divabetic was inspired by the late music legend, Luther Vandross and created in 2005 by Max Szadek, who, as Vandross’ assistant of 14 years, witnessed his boss, mentor, and friend struggle in silence and solitude with the diabetes and its related complications. President Barak Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter have acknowledged Divabetic for its dedication and determination on behalf of the diabetes community.

Speaker, Author, Researcher in diabetes and digital health, Deborah Greenwood PhD, RN, BC-ADM, CDCES, FADCES joins us to talk about diabetes techonlogy and digital health on Divabetic’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, 6 PM, EST.
There’s seems like no better time to discuss Diabetes Technology and Digital Health than right now during the panepidemic.
Doctors and hospitals are use telehealth tools for routine appointments without the burden of traditional barriers, such as reimbursement and privacy restrictions.
Big health insurance organizations are relaxing rules on early prescription refills and prior authorization requirements to allow patients to preorder and store medications and supplies.
What does it mean for you?
Well, here’s Deb’s answer to probably the most basic question about Diabetes Technology and Digital Health prior to our interview on Tuesday.
Deborah Greenwood (DG): “That is a great question because I think there is some confusion out there. Many people, when they hear the term diabetes technology, think about diabetes “devices” like pumps and continuous glucose montiors (CGMs) and meters, but in reality diabetes technology is so much more.
It is really a system that we like to call “technology-enabled care and education” that includes 4 key elements:
1. Communication between the people with diabetes (PWD) and the healthcare team (in many different forms including text or phone or videochat or patient portal)
2. The use of patient-generated health data, from diabetes devices we’ve discussed and from fitness trackers or other forms
3. The use of data to identify how both education and care can be tailored to the individual
4. Feedback provided and discussed with the care team so changes can be made like medication, or activity plans or eating plans etc.”
Deborah Greenwood PhD, RN, BC-ADM, CDCES, FADCES is a diabetes care and education specialist who focuses on digital health. she is owner of Deborah Greenwood Consulting and recently started working as a Medical Science Liaison at Dexcom. She was the 2015 president of AADE.
We’re talking about ‘Secrets to Longevity & Diabetes’ with musical inspiration from Dionne Warwick on May’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast.
Living longer and increasing your life expectancy with diabetes doesn’t have to be a chore. From flossing your teeth daily to getting a good night’s sleep, there are simple things you can do to help you live long, happy and healthy life.
Dionne Warwick has enjoyed a tremendously long career as a singer. She ranks second to Aretha Franklin as the most charted female vocalist with 69 singles making the Billboard Hot 100 during the rock era (1955–1999).
Dionne Warwick once explained her longevity to Jet magazine, saying, “I really attribute it to remaining who I am and not jumping ship, being completely cognizant of what the people … are accustomed to hearing from me.”
Guests include The Lager Queen of Minnesota and Kitchens of the Great Midwest Author J. Ryan Stradal, Deborah Greenwood PhD, RN, BC-ADM, CDE, FAADE, Fonzi Thornton, Rachel Stahl MS, RD, CDN, CDE, and Lorraine Brooks.
Throughout the podcast we will be featuring music from Dionne Warwick’s ‘Dionne’ album featuring I’ll Never Love This Way Again and Deja Vu courtesy of SONY Music.
Cutting back on carbohydrates can have major benefits for your health according to Healthline.
Many studies have shown that low-carb diets can help you lose weight and help manage your diabetes and/or prediabetes.
Personally, I’ve been trying to eat less carbohydrates while Sheltering In in New York City to manage my weight. Although I’m taking daily walks and doing short at home workouts, I’m not playing tennis and/or going to the gym. The lack of physical activity makes me wonder what’s going to happen when I stop wearing sweatpants and start wearing work pants! But that little voice inside my head still hasn’t be able to stop me from craving something sweet at the end of the day.
These low carb Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies by My Montana Kitchen are just as delicious as they look! The brownie itself is dense and fudgy, while the peanut butter cheesecake layer is creamy and melt-in-your-mouth. And these brownies are so easy to make!
Fiber is helpful for promoting weight loss, lowering blood sugar levels and fighting constipation. But are you eating enough?
The recommended daily intake is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men.
Unlike other food components, such as fats, proteins or carbohydrates — which your body breaks down and absorbs — fiber isn’t digested by your body. Instead, it passes relatively intact through your stomach, small intestine and colon and out of your body.
We’re talking about staying strong as we face the challenges of living with diabetes during the coronavirus pandemic on April’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast.
Our Diva Inspiration, Maren Morris has opted to do things her own way and obliterating expectation at every turn on her newest album entitled Girl.
Many music experts believe she’s making a bid for the sort of across-the-board pop stardom enjoyed by Pink, Katy Perry and Selena Gomez with this album. Maren’s singing about independence, self-love and the need to reach across the aisle to find common ground.
Guests include Author of the Noodle Shop Mysteries: Vivien Chien, Lorraine Brooks, Sara (Mandy) Reece, PharmD, CDE, Dr. Wendy Satin Rapaport PhD, Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, and Alexis Gray.

ANSWER: Avocado have more fiber! Avocados contains: 10 grams of fiber in a cup, or 6.7 grams per 100 gram. Raspberries contain: 8 grams of fiber in a cup, or 6.5 grams per 100 grams. More info: healthline
These days we seem to be cooking and baking more like everyone else who is sheltering in during the pandemic. I’ve even had the opportunity to attempt reinventing some of my favorite recipes in healthier ways.
Recently I discovered that unsweetened applesauce can be substituted for sugar equally: 1 cup applesauce for 1 cup sugar in recipes. If you want to try this swap, you also need to reduce the amount of liquid (milk or water) in the recipe because applesauce is a wet ingredient,. Usually reducing the liquid (milk, water, etc) by a quarter cup will do the trick. If there’s no added liquid, then there’s no need to adjust.
Want to try a recipe using unsweetened applesauce instead of sugar? Check out this wonderful recipe below:
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashion rolled oats
1/3 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup oil
1/3 to 1/2 cup ready-made cream cheese frosting
16 oz white chocolate candy melts
2 tsp vegetable shortening
toffee bits or sprinkles of your choice for top optional
toothpicks

I went to the kitchen to get me a snack,
And then I thought, no, better put the chips back.
I’m home in the morning, home all the day,
And I can’t keep on eating and eating this way.
I’ve got to stay healthy, in spite of the news,
Because food and drink are so easy to abuse.
I’m bored, and I’m worried, as all of us are,
I’m eating my Skippy right out of the jar.
But I didn’t give up, or succumb to defeat,
And I started cooking good foods I can eat.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes and beans,
Broccoli, carrots, and cabbage, and greens.
I made a quiche, but it wasn’t high-fat,
I learned how to substitute this for that.
I made a cheesecake with Splenda instead,
And there was no sugar in my banana bread.
I made a stew, and some soup, and some fish,
Without adding butter or oils to my dish.
I’m doing my best, I‘m not perfect, but still…
Instead of much salt, I use spices, like dill.
And I’m doing Zumba online, for an hour
So I don’t lose all of strength and my power.
So I would suggest, while this quarantine goes,
Get out of your jammies and put on some clothes.
Do something healthy, creative, and such
And the time spent alone won’t bother you as much.
For me that was cooking, for you maybe not,
But let’s take advantage of all that we’ve got.
One day this all will be part of the past,
And we can enjoy all our freedoms, at last.
