Kwanzaa is a Swahili word for “first fruits.” Because it is not a religious holiday, it is often celebrated along with Christmas in many African-American homes. For the diabetes community, the celebration of Kwanzaa falls in line with the celebration of a healthy lifestyle. This is because Kwanzaa encompasses the whole life — mind, body, and spirit — as it pertains not only to the individual, but to the entire community. The weeklong holiday begins December 26th and ends New Year’s Day, with each day focusing on a specific principle of Kwanzaa. Click here to learn more!

At dLife, we call these caregivers "Type 3s." Your role as a type 3 may range from hands-off, verbal support of your loved one to 24-hour-a-day care. Whatever you do, people with diabetes have a greater chance of achieving and maintaining good blood glucose control - thus delaying complications - when they are surrounded by supportive friends and family members. Learn more about caring for the caregivers on dLife today.
