Morselfy your Thanksgiving, diabetes, savings & a silly song

Go ahead and have some pumpkin pie, but try a sliver first..

You may remember my post from last year:

This National Diabetes Month, the National Diabetes Education Program Reminds You That Diabetes is a Family Affair

Diabetes is a challenging disease that affects the entire family in many ways. If you are living with diabetes or have a loved one with the disease, family support is very important when it comes to managing diabetes and preventing serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, and nerve damage that can lead to amputation. It’s also important to know that if you have a family history of diabetes – such as a mother, father, brother, or sister – you are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

The Morselist is doing her part to spread awareness by creating MORSELICIOUS recipes. Please subscribe to YOUTUBE and watch 2 quick healthy or MORSELFIED  Thanksgivingukkah & recipes.

To help you get started, the NDEP offers many resources to help you make healthy lifestyle changes as a family. The NDEP also has resources that can be used in community settings that are part of the extended family, such as schools, businesses, and the health care community, among others.

Some resources include:

• 4 Steps to Manage Your Diabetes for Life shares four steps to help people with diabetes understand, monitor, and manage their diabetes to help them stay healthy.
• Help a Loved One with Diabetes provides practical tips for helping a loved one cope with diabetes and things you can do to help.
• Family Health History Quiz. Knowing your family health history is important.  Take this quiz to learn more about your family history of diabetes.
• Tasty Recipes for People with Diabetes and Their Families is a bilingual recipe booklet that can help families make healthy food choices without giving up the foods they love.
• Helping the Student with Diabetes Succeed: A Guide for School Personnel is a comprehensive guide to help students with diabetes, their health care team, school staff, and parents work together to help students manage their diabetes safely and effectively in the school setting.

This November, use these resources and more to make healthy lifestyle changes as a family. Learn more at www.YourDiabetesInfo.org.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ National Diabetes Education Program is jointly sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the support of more than 200 partner organizations. 

And for those of you who want to join me and sing my silly song.
