It's a Full Month Dedicated to Diabetes
Fri, 11-09-2007 - 6:04pm

As a family lifestyle coach, I know that I and others in my profession are confounded by this condition.  Diabetes type 2 is a lifestyle condition to some extent and I think many people do not grasp how difficult it can be - even when faced with actual illness - to change habits and battle a condition that luckily does respond to dietary and exercise efforts.  I know of so many clients who really do want to lower their risk or get off medications or just "undo the journey that took them to diabetes" - but it takes a great and ongoing effort to do so.


This month I'll be blogging, of and on, about this disease - I hope you'll check out my blog at http://amyhendel.ivillage.com.  I also host a national radio show on diabetes - Good Eating Good Living, on Westwood One.  You can check air times at www.goodeatinggoodliving.com.
