Routine Routine Routine
Routine, we love to hate it, especially with a demanding disease like Diabetes which requires hyper-vigilance. No sane person would set their alarm to wake through the night to check their blood sugar, diligently count carbs before a meal or force themselves on the treadmill at 9 pm. But we do it because without the effort? The science speaks for itself.

Being a force for positive change
For most of my life, I’ve wanted to be a force for positive change. Instilled in me by my grandfather, he would often remind us how important it was to speak our minds and to question. He taught me to be respectful, thoughtful and to give back and never ever take privilege for granted. Everything can change in a heartbeat. Last night, when I … Read More Being a force for positive change

What are your non-negotiables ?
Hello 2016! I wish I could say the year started off all calm and cosy, but it’s taken me nearly two weeks to get my levels down after our christmas day celebrations. Don’t even asked me why… sometimes I just have to give myself a break and be okay about swimming upstream. Amidst the pure frustration of looking at numbers I do not like I’ve … Read More What are your non-negotiables ?

It’s been a huge month
This month I made it my business to step up and share in as many ways as possible why I feel more people should know about Diabetes. The more we can advocate, the more likely others will come onboard and help raise much needed funds in all sorts of arenas

Stop, Drop and BREATHE
Breath. We can’t live without it. So why is it that we forget the most essential ingredient in keeping every single part of the body working properly? I think it’s the very fact that we take breath for granted that’s actually the problem. It’s only when we’re out of breath that we notice the breath. Like when you have a cold or an allergy … Read More Stop, Drop and BREATHE

For the Love of Habits
I’m super disciplined when it comes to managing my diabetes.That is until about four in the afternoon, when all hell breaks loose. I can trace my troublesome behaviour back to my teenage years. I’d come home from school open the fridge and snack and snack….. and snack! Do I blame my bad habits as a teen for my LADA diabetes? Of course not, but … Read More For the Love of Habits

Your Body as Perfectly Imperfect

ARE YOU CREATING THE BEST POSSIBLE START TO YOUR DAY ?
A Guest blog from Yogi and Ayurvedic Chef, Jody Vassallo I believe that mornings are the foundation of our day, it is when our feet first come in contact with the earth and we can consciously set our intentions for the day ahead. Taking time out to sit and really take in the morning is so important, this is when I make decisions about … Read More ARE YOU CREATING THE BEST POSSIBLE START TO YOUR DAY ?
