Wow. Today’s prompt (pick someone else’s blog post and write a comment to them) was hard for me! I read several blog posts and they all seemed to be about food and frustration. I honestly didn’t know how to respond. Finally I landed on this post by Allison Nimlos. I’m not sure if my comment will show up or not, but here it is:
Hi, Allison! Thanks for writing about Jessica’s product/program. I have been reading a bunch of blogs today and confirming – all over again – that everyone with diabetes is unique. There are so many different ways to eat with diabetes, and I tell the people I work with that it’s all about balance and “what works best for you” to achieve healthy BGs, healthy outcomes, and feel good. When people ask me, “what can I eat?” I always answer, “anything.” To me it’s just as important that we approach diabetes with a positive, healthy attitude, as putting healthy foods/beverages in our bodies. There are no secret tricks. Consistent foods at consistent times definitely helps, but that’s not reality for everyone. The one thread that weaves through all of it is our attitude. Thanks again!
