As you fix your kids a snack or tell them to go get something out of the ‘fridge or pantry, just think there are children that must have every, and I mean every, morsel of food weighed and logged. Grace at Kids Health Notes posted a great tidbit about children and diabetes today. And it isn’t just the kids, there are adults that haven’t been able to enjoy a glass of wine with their spouses in years. Not that this is the “end of the world” but an inconvenience none the less. And don’t even get me started on the cheesecake… It is so important that we realize that we can educate and put to rest the myths ...

We have an eating disorder called Breaking the Mirror. We have a new fertility site called Fertility Notes and a great new pediatric blog, Kids Health Notes. Grace at Kids Health Notes is a veteran b5′er and has some great things to offer. One of her posts last week was right up our alley here at A Hearty Life. She reminded us that chest pains among children and teens should be taken seriously and worked up just as carefully as an adult would be. Go check out her post and see what else she has to say.

I picked a few posts that were useful for diabetics… and a few that are just darn good! Enjoy. Scott over at Health and Men offers up … Diabetes is a wide spread and ever so growing disease. In fact more that 21 million Americans (lets not forget the rest of the world too) suffer from diabetes.
