GLAM MORE FEAR LESS: The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic rolls out the Red Tomato Carpet at the Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue in New York City, NY.
The New York City Easter Parade has been an annual tradition since Civil War days and features marchers in elaborate Easter finery, including some of the fanciest Easter bonnets imaginable. People’s imagination seemed limitless, looking at all the head adornments. I was blown away by the style and sophistication of many of the participants.
Many people’s outfits were inspired by either the Gilded Age or MGM’s musical Easter Parade, starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire.
Get inspired to ‘Glam More, Fear Less’ about living with diabetes. Make sure to protect your vision so you can enjoy a parade, street fair or gathering to its fullest. If you’re living with diabetes, make sure to schedule your annual eye exam.
Diabetic retinopathy is caused when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. This damage can lead to temporary vision loss or permanent blindness.
People with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, especially if their diabetes is poorly managed. Maintaining good blood sugar levels and having regular eye exams can help reduce the risk of blindness from diabetic retinopathy.
