Prediabetes: A Complete Guide by Jill Weisenberger

The latest numbers from the CDC suggest that nearly 1 in 3 adults have either prediabetes or diabetes. These are alarming numbers, and finding out that you are the one out of three can be even more alarming. Shock, denial, and confusion are not uncommon reactions. But there is a flip side to learning you have prediabetes. It can be scary, but it’s also an opportunity—an opportunity to “reset,” to improve your health and to get yourself in better shape than ever. Let Prediabetes: A Complete Guide show you how!ho

Creamy Zucchini Soup Recipe by Jill Weisenberger

Soup can be a tasty, inexpensive way to eat well and keep your blood sugars on track. Most soups keep well, and making extra can give you days of quick meals that will help keep your blood glucose levels under control.

Our friend, Jill Weisenberger shares her Creamy Zucchini Soup Recipe with the Divabetic community.

“My creamy zucchini soup recipe was inspired by the award-winning chef José Andrés. My favorite Washington, DC restaurant is his Zaytinya. I eat there every opportunity I can create for myself,” says Jill Weisenberger. “Last year, chef José Andrés published a hefty and beautiful cookbook called Vegetables Unleashed in which he offers a version of his wife’s zucchini soup. From his remake, I created my own remake, which is a bit more health-focused. And still incredibly delicious. It’s a great way to start a meal – very filling, so it’s easier to be satisfied with less.”
