Who suggested this product? The Heart Healthy Gift Box from Nutritious Gifts was recommended by Rebecca Stib from Nutritious Gifts. |
The Diabetic Diet is essentially healthy, nutritious foods in moderate amounts and following regular mealtimes to manage blood sugars. Foods that are recommended are healthy and complex carbohydrates such as items found in the Heart Healthy Food box.
For example, depending on the size, you may find complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal, nuts, and seeds suitable for diabetics. Peanut butter is another common item found in our boxes that work well for diabetics. Heart healthy fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids are an important component of a diabetic diet as well as healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil. Fresh fruit and vegetables are always recommended first, however, setting an example using dried fruit or a nutrition bar in moderate amounts is suitable for some diabetics too.

#14 Frio Insulin Cooling Wallet
 |
Who suggested this product? The Frio Insulin Cooling Wallet was recommended by Gianetta Palmer from LifeInsuranceTypes. |
One of the biggest concerns I have when traveling with type 2 diabetes is making sure I have enough insulin with me. When new security measures were implemented at airports, I had to find another way to carry insulin because I was no longer able to carry a cooler with ice. A friend recommended the Frio wallet which uses evaporated air to keep insulin temperatures at an acceptable level. I carry mine with me whenever I travel and it alleviates the stress and anxiety of making sure my medicine stays protected.
