I had the sad occasion of attending a memorial service for my aunt recently. She passed away December 22, 2011, just 2 days before Christmas. She was not just any aunt. Her name was Aunt Georgie. She had a very special way about her. Her face and whole being would light up when you came into the room. She never left you feeling less than special after being in her presence.

Greetings! I want to share with you an enlightening experience I had last night. I have had Type I Diabetes 25 years come February. Yes, that long… One might think after all these years that I might know a thing or two about diabetes management, right? Well, that’s what even my doctor’s have reinforced through the years for me too. Comments like, “Why aren’t you a doctor with how much you know?” and “You know more than 1/2 the doctors I work with!”
I had seen on Facebook something about classes for Type I Diabetes and was mildly interested, but never took the initiative to sign up.
Hello friends! Christmas is upon us! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and the ones you love! As I write, I have a beautiful fragrant Christmas tree lit up in my living room and Christmas music playing in the background. I got to thinking about Christmas cookies and wanted to share a recipe with you the way I like to bake: lightly sweetened (reduced/low sugar). Nervous if you will enjoy a cookie with not as much sweetness? Read on. If you are just stopping by for the recipe and not further information on reduced sugar baking and how I came to bake this way, scroll right to the bottom of the post.
I am not sure if it is the amount of years I have had diabetes (25 years in February, 2012) or the age I currently am, (36), but cane sugar and I are just not pals anymore. This includes white granulated sugar at the top of my list, but also powdered sugar and brown sugar.
