Cinnamon—Not So Useful?

Updated December 18, 2014

Can cinnamon help improve blood glucose control in people with diabetes?

Fitting Diabetes Into Your Lifestyle

Updated December 18, 2014

My first "real" dietitian was Amy K. I say "real" like that because the ones I’d had before tended to snap out orders.

I Need Some Rest

Updated March 18, 2015

Sometimes I follow my own advice and sometimes I don’t. When I don’t, I’m usually sorry about it. Saturday night I was very sorry. I fell and injured my right hip. Why? Because I tried to do too much. I didn’t slow down. I didn’t rest. Read More “I Need Some Rest”
