MR. DIABETES® WAKE UP AND WALK® TOUR tour UPDATE : April, 2008 LOCATION: St. Augustine, Florida TOTAL MILES: 9333.8 Notice that I didn’t log many miles during April; I knew back in October, 2007 that it would be a “low mileage” month. The reason is that I had long ranging plans to join my Ultimate Black Belt Test teammates for a very special event which occurs every year, during April, in Greensboro, Alabama. I’ll get into this shortly, but I first want to address other activities of THE WALK™. Read more of Andy's UPDATE
Did you know? Know Your Fruits and Veggies™: Spinach spinachBaby Boomers Will Have 3 Diseases: A landmark study conducted by the American Hospital Association in 2007 concluded that by the year 2030, the average Baby Boomer will be living with three chronic diseases — cardiac disease, diabetes and arthritis — and each will need to be closely managed.

For most people spinach is a love or hate thing. People love it or hate it. I think people hate it because they’ve had it badly prepared.
Spinach is a member of the goosefoot family (because of the shape of the leaves) and is native to Persia (modern day Iran and Iraq). It spread to China over 2,000 years ago along the silk route and later spread to Spain via the Moors. Read more about spinach.

When this column began in September of 2006, I tried to cover some of the basic steps of vegetable gardening, from preparing the soil, planning the garden on paper, the planting and care of vegetables and what to do when the growing season is done.
Quick Tip #1: When planting small seeds, use a salt shaker as it will distribute the seeds more evenly. Read more of Shirley's Quick Tips
Confused about Long Term Care & Diabetes?
Most diabetics enter a nursing home due to diabetes related complications, such as amputations, blindness, kidney failure, heart conditions, etc., rather than the disease itself. These complications often require professional medical attention, and assistance, that is no longer viable at home, by family, caregivers, or friends, and is beyond their capacity to self-manage.
