Don’t let anyone talk you out of your goals. Your diabetes wellness journey is yours alone. Brush off the negativity and surround yourself with people who will lift you up rather than pull you down.
Back in 2003 when I started Divabetic (Divabetic.Org) I was laughed at, shamed, belittled and told I was wrong by so many people for focusing on women living with, at risk and affected by diabetes. Vice President Elect, Kamala Harris’s words on today’s CBS Sunday Morning Show program spoke to my heart. I’m sitting down at my table and taking a big bite of ‘NO’ this morning.
Get a daily dose of positivity, encouragement, empowement from the real Divabetic. Tune into our free monthly podcasts, Diabetes Late Nite, available on blog talk radio and i-Tunes. Since 2005, Divabetic has been promoting attitude and advocacy to further your diabetes wellness.
We’re talking about a ‘New Year, New You‘ attitude about living with diabetes with musical inspiration from Aaliyah on January’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.
