21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes Review & Givaway
This week has been all about diabetes, first I asked each of you about your own experiences with the sometimes deadly disease 
and then I followed it up with an interview with author, Cherie Burbach. Why? Cherie sent me a copy of her newest book, “21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes
21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes
Example: Cherie had a co-worker that knew she had diabetes, when she went to eat at an event the co-worker was watching what Cherie was eating and made the comment she should be more careful with what she took in. Never once had the co-worker asked her about how Cherie’s blood sugars had been or any of that.
Cherie will talk about blood sugar levels and when to watch out for an attack, how insulin is not a cure all, and much more. I always thought blood sugar was the lack of sugar but it can actually dip up or down depending on what is going on in life, such as stress/exercise and being sick. My dad was actually very ill right before we found out he had diabetes so this actually makes more sense to me. She will teach you how not to treat someone with diabetes and other ways you can help them. By helping she doesn’t mean to jump down their throat the minute they have a piece of candy, but to support them. If you know someone with diabetes or are a diabetic yourself read this book and possibly share it with someone you know.
