Trans-fats are chemically altered vegetable oils which increase the shelf life of food products but have no...
Sometimes being diabetic really doesn’t bother me all that much. It’s become such a major part of my life over the past seventeen years that it’s more like breathing or eating. It’s usually a love/hate relationship, for sure. I love who it’s made me become and the experiences I have because of it, but I hate the day...
