You’ve got diabetes, you know you’ve got to watch what you eat. You’ve been told to lose weight too.

Then you turn to the internet to get more information. Somehow google and facebook seem to be a step ahead and you start having lots of crazy offers coming up for diabetes.

Lots of promises and hype and talk of superfoods - are they all a hoax or are there really foods out there that can help?

You’ve been running around busy taking care of all the things that need to be done. Then you realise that you’re hungry. It’s snack time... 

You don’t have any snacks to hand and you’re away from home. What do you do?

This is a really common scenario for everyone - but what happens when you’re a diabetic and you are working hard to keep those blood sugars looking good.

Hey Peter Cottontail, you are not the only one feeling lively with the dawn of Spring. With longer periods of daylight and warmer temps, folks are moving more and brewing up fitness goals.

As a refresh, here is a laundry list of areas to consider to have optimal blood sugar control with an enjoyed workout:

You wake up and haul yourself out of bed, another day to face. So much to do before you even think about leaving the house.

Shower, dress, hustle others too. Where does breakfast fit into your morning? Are you an early riser and so don’t even fancy eating that early and grab a snack later?

I know we are told it’s the most important meal of the day (great marketing by Kellogg's). Is it true and does it matter when you’re a type 2 diabetic?
