B. Smith: I am excited to share healthy and tasty recipes with you that you and your family can enjoy. Having had many years of experience cooking for my own family members who struggled with Type 2 Diabetes, I have learned that healthy eating doesn't have to be an overwhelming, unpleasant or an impossible commitment. Diabetes is a subject that is very close to my heart. Type 2 Diabetes was in my family so I know how difficult it can be to balance your diet and your blood sugar levels. That's why I have teamed up with Diabetes NewDay campaign to help you and your journey to control Type 2 Diabetes. As part of the Diabetes NewDay campaign I am also going to personally makeover someone's favorite recipe.
Now I know that preparing a meal or entertaining when you have Type 2 Diabetes doesn't seem like an easy task. So we will spend the day planning a menu and creating a delicious dish for everyone to enjoy. I will even share some entertaining tips so that you will have a time that your family and friends won't forget.
Samantha Heller: Proper nutrition and regular exercise are extremely important whether or not you have Type 2 Diabetes.
Managing your blood sugar has a lot to do with what you eat and how much you eat. Preparing well balanced meal is a great way to start making small steps to help you successfully manage your blood sugar levels. When thinking about your meal you want your plate to be about half vegetables, a quarter proteins and a quarter whole grain.
A great small step to take is to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet. Lean sources of protein like white meat poultry are delicious and do not contain as much saturated fat as red meat.
