Scare Tactics
Diabetes Scare Tactics
"Fear, it is often said, can be a powerful motivator. So perhaps it is not surprising that in diabetes-prevention efforts and other publicity campaigns, stoking fear in the viewer or reader is one of the most commonly used tactics. Many people, however, wonder whether promoting fear of diabetes is really the best way to achieve these campaigns’ goals (including our own Jan Chait, in a 2007 blog post) and whether this tactic could have unintended consequences."

Diabetes Police
Diabetes Police: Revisted.
"Sometimes crude animation, and the repeated mention of cookies, ends up stuck in my head all day long. This is an older video (good grief, it's from 2008?!) about the often-times well-meaning diabetes police, and how the support of friends (and a good iced coffee delivered by a cat) can make all the difference."

Holiday Eating Tips
"Eating less and moving more is the best recipe for health. But when you've got Type 2 diabetes, staying relaxed is equally important."
Source: 6 holiday tips for diabetics ~ health-tools.health.msn.com
- "Eat first. Always eat before drinking any alcohol. Emphasize complex carbohydrates or proteins that will be digested and release sugar into the bloodstream slowly."
- "Take a close look. Check out everything at the dessert table before you take anything. Then make a conscious decision about what you’ll pick."
- "Balance your choices. Desserts with sugar can still be part of special occasions when you have diabetes. But remember that they count toward your total carbohydrates. You shouldn't just add holiday desserts to what you would usually eat. Instead, cut carbohydrates elsewhere in your meal so that you can have dessert without adding to your total carbohydrates."
- "Try alternatives. Keep a nonalcoholic beverage, like a diet soda, in hand."
- "Keep alcohol in a safe range. Mix club soda with dry wine for a low-alcohol, low-sugar wine cooler."
- "Make a nighttime check. Check your blood sugar level before bed. You may need to eat a bedtime snack to avoid nighttime low blood sugar."

They Mean Well
"Sometimes it isn’t a stranger or acquaintance giving you a hard time about your diabetes. Sometimes it’s a family member or close friend that says something hurtful about your diabetes management. And that is far more difficult to hear than the guy at the table next to you in a restaurant or some lady sharing an office with you at work."When They Mean Well
