Sugar Happy: Your Diabetes Health Guide in Achieving Your Best Blood Sugars and Letting go of Your Diabetes Complication Fears
A thought-provoking, yet interesting question: can managing your blood sugar be
as simple as what you don't know? I think so.

As a daughter, sister and wife of family members living with type 2 and type 1 diabetes, I want to share
with you what I have learned not only as a family member living with diabetes, but as a columnist diabetes
radio host, podcast interviewer, video producer, former diabetes supply store owner, healthcare professional
educator and author.

Information is power! Making informed medical decisions can save your life by delaying or preventing
diabetes complications. I call this being "diabetes literate". As a case in point, the historic 1993 Diabetes
in Control and Complications Trial Study was so conclusive in determining how intensive control of blood
sugars dramatically decreases your probability of experiencing complications, that the study was ended early.
As an author and AskNadia columnist (ranked #1 by Google), named "Best Diabetes Blog for 2017 by
Healthline and with 24 nominations, my passion lies in being a diabetes advocate and teaching you how to
advocate for yourself.

I was not only born into a type 2 diabetes family but also married a type 1. I was propelled at a young age
into "caretaker mode," and with my knowledge of the scarcity of resources, support, and understanding for
people with diabetes, co-founded Diabetes Interview, now Diabetes Health magazine.

Diabetes Complication Fears will help you understand:
