Pregnancy and type 1 or type 2 diabetes
It is important to manage your pregnancy if you have pre-existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Long-distance caregiving for people with diabetes
The percentage of Canadians with diabetes doubles between the ages of 45 – 65. As the baby boomer generation ages, this is leading to a dramatic increase in the number of older Canadians with diabetes, and an increasing need for many of us to provide support for older family members. This is a particular challenge when family members are not close by.
Diabetes and the ketogenic diet
Carbohydrate-containing foods such as bread, cereal and fruit are the body’s main source of energy. When you eat these foods they turn into glucose (sugar) and the body uses that glucose as fuel.
Menopause and diabetes
Did you know that a woman spends 30% of her life in menopause and that a third to a half of all women alive today in Canada are in menopause or peri-menopause?
The importance of being grateful
People who are more grateful for their lives tend to be happier and healthier than those who are less grateful.
