There have been many people in my life who have been affected by diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that runs in my family, and is also something that I feel will become a part of my life as I get older. My great grandmother had it, so did both my grandmothers, my dad is pre-diabetic and so is my mother. You could say that my likelihood of developing diabetes is pretty high.
This is something I take into consideration every single day when I make choices about what to eat. One of the first things I did was to choose foods with less sugar or no sugar. I have cut my sugar consumption in half during the past two years, but I feel like I need to be doing more. This month is National Diabetes Month, so I have been thinking about this a lot.

From candies and chocolates to peanut butter and syrup, the Fifty50 Foods line is specially formulated to help people with diabetes manage their blood glucose levels; it’s also great for those on Low Glycemic diets, or for people who simply prefer low or no-added sugar options.
