Halloween Candy Carb List!

Thanks to Dr. Dewan for this extremely helpful list of Halloween Candy, it’s our hope that this will be beneficial to all diabetic Trick-or-Treaters and their families in the management of their Diabetes as they have the occasional diabetic treat.

Personally, my favorites are M&M’s and Snickers, which I don’t have that often, but it’s great to know the carb breakdown for each of these special treats!

For those of you who find this information helpful and want to express your gratitude to Dr. Dewan, you can email him by clicking here!

Meet the First International Affiliate of the Diabetic Angels…

It's All About Ryan

It’s All About Ryan!! 

Mollie and Jackie singing at the JDRF Gala in Calgary!

 This past weekend, the original Diabetic Angels had the opportunity to travel to Calgary - in Canada - where “Mollie and Jackie” performed at Calgary’s 2008 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Gala, “Starry Starry Night.”  We were thrilled to be able to support JDRF Canada and have the chance to meet so many amazing people.

Amanda, Jackie, Mollie, and Stephanie
Two young JDRF Volunteers, Amanda and Stephanie, are inspired by their brother/cousin Ryan, who like Mollie, and a friend of ours in Nashville, were diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 4. Ryan, now a healthy and strong sixth-grader, along with his sister and cousin, raise money and are strong diabetes advocates working to find the cure.   As experienced JDRF volunteers, the trio has decided to get more involved and make an even greater difference in the lives of diabetics by becoming Diabetic Angels start the first International Affiliate Program in Calgary to expand Diabetes Awareness and Outreach!!!!  

We’d love to thank Stephanie and Amanda for helping Ryan!! We are proud that young people like Stephanie and Amanda selflessly put the needs of others, in this case, Stephanie’s brother and Amanda’s cousin, to help do everything possible to keep Ryan healthy and strong for when the cure for diabetes is found. :]

Heart of Gold Girls!!


NEWS FLASH!!

 

Jackie and I are so excited to announce that we have been named as two of the spokespeople for Heart of Gold!

For those of you who are not familiar with Heart of Gold, we would like for you to read about Heart of Gold in their own words, as to who they are and about their goal to help young women!

Heart of Gold is the first web community dedicated to helping young women embrace and celebrate the unique gifts they bring to the world. No ordinary “teen girls” site, heartofgoldgirls.com is more like a virtual roadmap for living, with engaging, dynamic content devoted to showing girls how to discover their individual passions while developing their interests, opinions, and personal style.

Sprinkled generously with timeless pearls of wisdom and stocked with useful, beautiful, and unusual products, Heart of Gold will also show girls how to have fun while “doing good” because 10% of Heart of Gold’s net profits will be donated to charity.  

“Tuning into that “still, small voice within” 
Heart of Gold is founded on the belief that finding your unique voice — the inner, authentic voice with which each and every one of us is born — is the key to realizing your dreams. To that end, heartofgoldgirls.com offers young women a “toolbox of how-tos” for living an authentic, empowered life of purpose, responsibility and service to others. 

It’s no wonder then that Heart of Gold’s signature product is the Follow your Heart to the Life of your Dreams™ necklace — a heart-shaped compass intended to help its wearer remain focused on goals and dreams no matter what roadblocks may show up along the way.” 

Honesty in all you say
Excellence in all you do
Acceptance of what life brings you because attitude is everything!
Respect for yourself and others
Tenacity to stick to your goals

Ownership of your life, your actions & your destiny
Faith in yourself & your talents

Gratitude for what you have now
Optimism about what’s to come
Love for yourself and others
Dedication to stay the course until you are living the life of your dreams!

After reading what we’ve posted above, we’re sure everyone can understand why we are truly excited to be a part of such a wonderful organization, especially since Heart of Gold’s message is so inspirational!! Also, like most of you, we love the, “Follow your Heart to the Life of your Dreams” necklace. We wear this inspiring jewelry daily as a contact reminder that when you follow your heart and believe in yourself, dreams really do come true!
