I hope everyone enjoyed their three-day weekend. This morning, I've got an article that I found in an email from The Diabetic News. I'm starting today's blog post with that, and then post today's six diabetic recipes.
Do you regularly monitor your blood sugar levels? If you're diabetic – or care for someone who is – you no doubt know the importance of testing your levels. Another level frequently tested – this time, by your primary health care provider – is your HbA1c. However, according to researchers at the Mayo Clinic, “the HbA1c level...may not actually lower the risk of kidney, vision and neuropathy complications for diabetics.” The findings, reported on August 30 in The Diabetic News (“Lower HbA1c May Not Prevent Diabetes Complications”), goes on to state that focusing on the HbA1c “may have short-circuited development of new diabetes therapies.”

And now for today's six diabetic recipes to help you through the day. Enjoy!
