Diva TalkRadio Rewind: OJ vs a Juicy Orange in Food Aisle Face-off
May 20, 2011Judi Wilcox, RD, CDE
Here’s the decision, courtesy of Judi Wilcox, one of Divabetic’s Charlie’s Angels of Diabetes Outreach.
Hands down the orange is a knockout!
Because of its fiber content the orange is a better choice. One orange contains 3 grams of fiber and that is 11% of your need for fiber. The recommended daily amount of fiber for someone living with diabetes is 35 grams per day. It takes 3 oranges to make a glass of juice and the fiber gets left behind in the juicer. Juice concentrate is made from the whole orange so if you have to have juice, juice concentrate would be a better choice. Orange juice with pulp has no fiber because the fiber is removed during the juicing process, and while pulp is added back, it’s not enough to beat the orange! Both oranges and orange juice have Vitamin C, flavonoids/antioxidants, potassium, and the B supervitamin, Folate. One small orange (or 2 tangerines) has 15 grams of carbohydrate. There are 30 grams of carbohydrates in a glass of Juicy Juice, which brings up another discussion. What is juice? Read the label and identify 100% REAL JUICE, and not Sunny D, Kool-Aid, Fruit Punch, or Nectars. Many juices are made with high fructose corn syrup so be sure to read the list of ingredients. A serving of juice is a 1/2 cup. Dilute it with water if you can’t resist to give it a fighting chance in your list of better food and beverage choices.
There are so many delicious types of oranges. My favorite is the Honeybell tangerine, a sweet, delicious and filling option to juice.

From Diagnosis to DIVA!
March 14, 2011
Divabetic’s From Diagnosis to DIVA stories detail the change in mindset from denial to acceptance of living with diabetes and moving on up. Meet this month’s DIVA, Nikkia M. Find inspiration in “herstory”!
Nikkia M.
Name: Nikkia M.
Status: Type 2
Diagnosis: October 2006
Hometown: Washington, DC area (Bowie, MD)
Special members of Nikkia’s healthcare entourage: Michael M., Nikkia’s father
Favorite celebrity diva: “Patti LaBelle. She is the fliest DIVA ever. I love her style and how confident she is. She is a woman who has decided that she was going to have diabetes not let it have her. If there was anyone I would love to meet and thanks for being one of my inspirations it would be her.”
Motivating Mindset:
“You may not believe it, but I swear I look on the Divabetic website, look at the photo gallery and look at my son, who makes EVERYTHING better! When I first was told that I was Type 2, I was devastated. Just a few months earlier I was told that I had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and there was a possibility that I could not have children. After a few weeks of being very down I realized that I was not given a death sentence and from that moment on I made the choice that I was going to love and live my life to the fullest and from that day forth I have not looked back!”

Congratulations to the Divabetic Club of Cleveland, a member of the Diabetes Association of Greater Cleveland, on its fourth anniversary. Here’s an update from member Laura, W. written to Mr. Divabetic:
Do you believe we (Diva’s) have started our 4th year. WOW! We had our Divabetic group on Saturday, 11-13 and I truly believe it’s going to be an exciting year. Sorry I couldn’t make it to Pittsburgh this year. I understand it was good and I’m glad. I had a chance to give a gratitude for my Famous Favorite Diva – Maryann and thank her for all she has done for us. I crocheted a scarf and presented it to her. Same colors as the afghan I made her a few years ago. The group was in agreement about Maryann being my Famous Favorite Diva. She is just such a special person and so willing to help using any way she can.
- Laura with Max Szadek, Mister Divabetc®
And as for you – you also are my Famous Favorite Male Diva and I thank you for all you have done for us. Thank you so much. You have a special place in my heart. Now if you are thinking why my husband is not my Famous Favorite Male Diva – well he is just my husband and will always be there when I’m in trouble with my sugars. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!
