Mother Your Diabetes

Mama Rose Marie Szadek

Divabetic is celebrating Mother’s Day by sharing a  special Mother Your Diabetes tip from Mama Rose Marie. Mama Rose Marie appears regularly on Divabetic’s free monthly podcast, Diabetes Roundtable providing diabetes wellness advice with a spoonful of motherly love.

This month, Mama Rose Marie wants to encourage you to  plate your snacks. Eat straight out of the bag and you’re guaranteed to eat more, whether it’s chips, pretzels, or cookies. Instead, put a small portion on a plate, seal up the bag and put it away, then sit down and enjoy your snack.  The danger of snacks is that they can become more like extra meals if you go overboard using a plate is one way to stop yourself from overeating.

This month, Mama Rose Marie wants to remind you that  a healthy diabetes lifestyle is a healthy lifestyle for everyone. Whether you are a person with diabetes or a family member or friend, you can prepare meals that are healthy and taste great. Look for recipes that are low in saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars. Experiment with recipes that include fruits and vegetables, lean meats and nonfat dairy products. Other healthy ingredients are foods high in fiber, such as whole grain breads, rice, and pasta.

Mr. Divabetic plays ‘Serve, Taste or Trash! at NY Fashion Week

WEGO Health Activist Award Nominee

The fabulous, Ginger Vieira, author of Emotional Eating with Diabetes, recently posted this story about the happy healthcare host (me!) on Diabetes Daily.”If you don’t know Mr. Divabetic (Max Szadek) he is an diabetes advocate, podcast & video host, and all around supporter of living life to the fullest with diabetes! This past week, he hit up New York’s Annual Fashion Week and spoke with Miss Dee who is well-known for her couture on the runway!

My favorite thing about Mr. Divabetic is that he makes diabetes wild, colorful, and fun while taking the responsibilities of the disease very seriously! (Like…eating more vegetables!)

Recently, Mr. Divabetic started a new game called “Serve? Taste? or Trash?” in which he offers three vegetable ingredients and let’s his contestants choose which one they would make a meal with, which one they would taste if they’d never really had it before or if they thought they’d enjoy it, and which one they would throw away!”

(If you didn’t know that I’m on a quest to glamorize good health – now you know!!)

‘Forever Dusty’ star, Kirsten Holly Smith joins Mr. Divabetic in March

Mr. Divabetic’s Wishing & Hoping

I’m so excited to announce the fabulous divas who will be joining me on the “Mr. Divabetic Show” podcast in March. We’re talking ‘DIVAS!” My special guests will be Broadway’s ‘Forever Dusty’ star Kirsten Holly Smith and Kitchen 101 and Trim & Terrific cookbook author Holly Clegg.  I chose these two remarkable women to help inspire you to ‘GLAM MORE, FEAR LESS’ so you can enjoy the glamorous life aka ‘a life without diabetes health-related complications.’

Get the exclusive behind-the-scenes story of the making of Forever Dusty and find out Kirsten’s beauty and health secrets to performing at her best night after night.

Dusty Forever is about the life and times of legendary ‘diva’ icon Dusty Springfield. With her towering blonde beehive, spectacular outfits, and most of all, her unforgettable, soulful voice, Dusty Springfield became the first great female pop star of the 1960s. But how did a shy, awkward Catholic schoolgirl with the cumbersome name of Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien, transform herself into an icon for a generation?

Forever Dusty tells the compelling and moving story of Dusty’s journey, in a dramatic, high-energy musical filled with some of the most exciting pop songs ever written, including “Son of a Preacher Man,” “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” “The Look of Love,” and many others. Dusty Forever was written by Kirsten Holly Smith and  Jonathan Vankin, and  directed by Randal Myler.

Holly Clegg known as the “Queen of Quick,” has offered expert advice on quick, flavorful and healthy eating for nearly 20 years through her best-selling trim&TERRIFIC® cookbook series and the newly released KITCHEN 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence. Holly has been featured in USA Today, Country Living Magazine and First for Women. She was also recognized as one of the Top Louisiana Chefs of 2011 by the ACF of New Orleans. Holly has also released a phone app, Mobile Rush-Hour Recipes for iPhone, ipad, Blackberry and smart phone application, (search under apps to download), which brings her signature recipes to your fingertips.

Mr. Divabetic is the host of Diva Talk Radio, a WEGO Health Activist  Awards Nominee and the executive director of Divabetic. Divabetic was inspired by the late music legend, Luther Vandross and created by Max Szadek, who, as Vandross’ assistant of 14 years, witnessed his boss, mentor, and friend struggle in silence and solitude with the diabetes and its related complications. President Barak Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter have acknowledged Divabetic for it’s dedication and determination on behalf of the diabetes community.

Mr. Divabetic’s interview on 106.7 LITE-FM

The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic

Here’s the link to my recent interview with Nina Del Rio on 106.7 LITE-FM, WLTW NY celebrating Divabetic’s 8th Year Anniversary.

I spoke about Luther Vandross, the Divabetic 9 Steps to help you journey from ‘Diagnosis to DIVA! as well as Divabetic’s GLAM MORE, FEAR LESS philosophy.

http://www.1067litefm.com/player/?station=WLTW-FM&program_name=podcast&program_id=Get_Connected.xml&mid=22866303

Divabetic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to empower women to manage their diabetes self-care with confidence, inspiration and knowledge. Our national network of health professionals and diabetes educators provide expert advice on food, fitness and self-care management to encourage early action and prevention of diabetes health-related complications. Our mantra “Denial’s Not My Style,” encourages every woman, man and child to live healthy and to be bold, outspoken, educated and stylish like a true diva.

Divabetic was inspired by the late music legend, Luther Vandross and created in 2005 by Max Szadek, who, as Vandross’ assistant of 14 years, witnessed his boss, mentor, and friend struggle in silence and solitude with the diabetes and its related complications.  Divabetic has grown from a grassroots movement to help empower Luther fans (African American women) affected by diabetes to a burgeoning and significant presence in the diabetes social media community. President Barak Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter have acknowledged Divabetic for it’s dedication and determination on behalf of the diabetes community.

Today, Divabetic’s primary audience of African-American and Latina women living with type 2 diabetes (20-70 years old from over 443 cities) has grown to include a much more diverse demographic of women and men living with diabetes worldwide. The unique blend of patient empowerment, celebrity divas and traditional diabetes education in Divabetic’s messaging has broaden the appeal of our outreach efforts to reach over thousands of people through live events and our various social media outlets.

“I have to say that Divabetic has been an amazing inspiration. I can’t let diabetes take all of the fun out of my life. Divabetic has inspired me to find ways to take care of myself and reminded me to enjoy the process and still be glamorous as much as I can while doing so.”    

Taryn, Boston, MA

“I am a type 1 and have been for 20+ years. I was recently hospitalized for sugars as high as 700. I love Divabetic because its saying that just because we have diabetes, we are still beautiful!! Something i am slowly learning about me.”
