How many of us eat dinner in front of the nightly news, or lean over the newspaper while we sip our coffee at breakfast? How many of us walk, talk or drive while eating? The answer is almost everyone. And when we’re finished eating, all too often we realize we ate more than we’d planned. Diabetes or no, overeating is not good for blood sugar control or weight management. But how do we make a change — from mindless eating to mindful eating — when our lives are too busy to stop and smell the risotto?

My first interview promoting my book, A Smart Woman’s Guide to Diabetes, was a big success! Heather and Jeff of Transforming Diabetes talked with me about the process of writing the book as well as some personal stories of my life with diabetes. I first “met” Heather through tudiabetes and when she told me about the business she was creating, I knew I wanted to get involved. The mission of TD is below:

Transforming Diabetes invites listeners who have diabetes, love someone with diabetes, or simply care about the issues around this epidemic to join in our community of inspiration.

We are creating connections around living well in spite of – or even because of – diabetes.

We hope to turn the “S-Word” of scare in diabetes into great self-care, self-responsibility, and personal empowerment.

Let’s turn the table on those scary statistics, and take the diagnosis from challenge to opportunity!

They were great interviewers, and even though I was suddenly gripped with something caught in my throat, the interview was fun and I could have kept chatting.
