Happy Thursday!

Today I will be sharing with you a delicious and healthy tropical smoothie. This tropical vanilla smoothie is perfect for those who are suffering from diabetes because it is sugar free and contains the vanilla shake from Glucerna. I do not have diabetes but I have family members who do and I can tell you that it affects their everyday life. Having to constantly check their sugar levels is not an easy or fun task.

My late father in law had diabetes and he constaly struggle to control his sugar levels and mainly because he was always craving something sweet. My mother inlaw did a great job in taking care of him and his health. She would always cook healthy low salt meals and would make her delicious sugar free homemade apple juice ( I have to share the recipe soon!).  I also noticed that they had Glucerna products in their refrigerator which was great because their products helped manage diabetes and sugar spikes. My hubby and I also helped when we could because we knew how bad my father inlaw struggled with his diet. He passed away last October and we miss him greatly, even though he did not passed away due to diabetes, we know that having diabetes made his illness worsen.

My aunt passed away from diabetes many years ago and so did her mother. Now my grandmother has diabetes and not because she inherited from her parents but because she had a really bad scare and that caused her to have diabetes. Did you know that 6MM (23%) Hispanics in the United States have diabetes compared to 20MM of non-Hispanics. An estimated  57 million people have pre-diabetes in the US, and 35% are estimated to be Hispanic. It is very important to bring awareness to the Hispanic community about diabetes because we all need to help each other in knowing how we  can manage diabetes and where to go to get the help that we need.

What I love about Glucerna products is that their snack bars and shakes have CARBSTEADY® in them which helps minimize sugar spikes. People suffering from diabetes can satisfy their hunger by enjoying Glucerna delicious snack bars or shakes without spiking glucose level. Aso did you know that since Glucerna products contain slow-digesting carbohydrate in its formula it  may help some diabetics with weight loss and monitoring blood sugar levels. Glucerna products are available in a variety of flavors and you do not need a doctor’s precripstion to buy it. You can easily buy it in Walmart, just look for the pharmacy section and it’s infront of it. Also Glucerna can help you start a meal plan that fits your lifestyle? Just click here.

¡Feliz jueves!

Hoy voy a compartir con ustedes una deliciosa y saludable batido tropical. Este batido de vainilla tropical es perfecto para aquellos que sufren de diabetes, ya que no tinene azúcar y contiene el batido de vainilla de Glucerna. No tengo diabetes pero tengo familiares que si lo tienen y te puedo decir que afecta su vida cotidiana. El tener que comprobar constantemente sus niveles de azúcar no es una tarea fácil ni divertida.

Mi difunto suegro tenía diabetes y constantemente luchaba para controlar sus niveles de azúcar y sobre todo porque siempre se antojaba de algo dulce. Mi suegra hizo un gran trabajo en el cuidado de él y de su salud. Ella siempre cocinaba comidas baja en sal y saludables y la hacia su delicioso jugo de manzana casera sin azucar (que tengo que compartir la receta pronto!). También me di cuenta de que tenían productos Glucerna en su refrigerador, que era genial porque sus productos ayudaron a controlar la diabetes y el nivel de azúcar. Mi marido y yo también ayudabamos cuando podíamos porque sabíamos los problemas que tenia con su dieta. Falleció en Octubre pasado y lo extrañamos mucho, a pesar de que no falleció a causa de la diabetes, se sabe queal tener diabetes hizo que su enfermedad se empeore.

Mi tía murió de diabetes hace muchos años y tambien su madre. Ahora mi abuela tiene diabetes y no porque ella heredó de sus padres, sino porque tenía un mal susto y causó que ella tenga diabetes. ¿Sabía usted que 6MM (23%) de hispanos en los Estados Unidos tienen diabetes en comparación con los 20MM de  no hispanos. Se estima que unos 57 millones de personas tienen pre-diabetes en los EE.UU., y el 35% se estiman hispana. Es muy importante concienciar a la comunidad hispana acerca de la diabetes, ya que todos tenemos que ayudarnos unos a otros en saber cómo podemos controlar la diabetes y dónde ir para obtener la ayuda que necesitamos.

Lo que me encanta de productos Glucerna es que sus bares y batidos tienen CARBSTEADY® en ellos lo que ayuda a minimizar los picos de azúcar. Las personas que sufren de diabetes pueden satisfacer su hambre disfrutando de los bares deliciosos o batidos sin rematar el nivel de glucosa. Tambien sabes que los productos Glucerna contienen hidratos de carbono de lenta digestión en su fórmula que puede ayudar a algunos diabéticos con pérdida de peso y controlar los niveles de azúcar en la sangre. Productos Glucerna están disponibles en una variedad de sabores y usted no necesitan precripsion de un médico para comprarlos. Fácilmente puede comprarlos en Walmart, sólo tiene que buscar la sección de farmacia y esta delante de ella. También Glucerna puede ayudarle a iniciar un plan de comidas que se adapte a su estilo de vida? Simplemente haga clic aquí.
