Glucoholic - Sugar Free Snacks

Happy New Year! Hopefully all of our faithful readers are off to a healthy, happy 2009. As we begin preparing our list of products to review in the new year, we wanted to take a look back at the best sugar free and low carb products of 2008. These products made the list by virtue of being repeat purchases for us. In all five cases, they’ve actually become staples for The Glucoholic.

We hope you enjoyed reading about and consuming some of these products as much as we enjoyed finding and reviewing them this past year. We look forward to providing more sugar free and low carb product reviews than ever in 2009, and to hearing from all of you in this new year.

We just wanted to take some time out of this beautiful morning to say Merry Christmas to all of you loyal readers.  We hope each and every one of you has a healthy, happy holiday season.

We also wanted to encourage you to help make the season bright for others by supporting organizations like the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.  They could really use our support this year!

Hi everyone!  We just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving and remind you  to eat lots of turkey and try not to eat too much pie.  We also wanted to say that, on this day of giving thanks, the thing we are most thankful for is all of you.

Today we’re taking a break from reviews and celebrating World Diabetes Day with millions of others around the world. Many great events across the globe are helping out in the struggle to raise diabetes awareness, and to raise funds for aiding all things diabetes. Please check out the World Diabetes Day website and check the Activities section to see if there are World Diabetes Day events in your area. We thought it would be fun to make a list of the top five things all you glucoholics out there can do for World Diabetes Day 2008:

Top 5 Things For Glucoholics To Do on World Diabetes Day 2008

5. Make some more Diabetes Lolcats! There are only two for crying out loud. You know that felines get diabetes too don’t you?

4. Get tested. There are millions of people around the world suffering from a disease they are not aware they even have.

3. Become educated about diabetes. There are tons of resources available on the web for becoming more knowledgeable about diabetes. The chances that you or a family member or friend will not deal with diabetes in your lifetime is practically zero.

2. Start planning for World Diabetes Day 2009. Help plan an event in your area that will help raise diabetes awareness.

1. Donate to great organizations like the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or the American Diabetes Association. If you like to give locally, try to find a diabetes clinic in your area that can desperately use your support!

The fantastic diabetes blog Six Until Me is heading up a type 1 diabetes awareness event and we here at glucoholic.com would like to show our support.

Each and every one of us probably knows someone with type 1 diabetes. Let’s take time out on Monday April 14th to offer an encouraging word, to become more educated, to donate to support diabetes research. If you would like to raise your voice then head over to Six Until Me, or Tu Diabetes, or Diabetes Daily and join in!
