Get to the bottom of it!

Need to get a look at the bottom or back of your foot but aren’t limber enough for a good view?  Think about using a selfie stick!  You can take shots of inconvenient spots to check for blisters or sores and then even forward them to your doctor/advice nurse electronically.  They can get a peek at what is troubling you and set up an appointment if need be.  Diabetics, don’t put off checking your feet because you don’t have a convenient way to view your sole.

When I’m not thinking of new ways to use technology, I’m sewing adjustable aprons with oven mitts for my online shop ( www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads ) or knitting curly wooly hats for my other online shop ( www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns ).  My daughter’s (and friend) have an online shop, www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns , where they hand make and sell skull bead bracelets, she devil knickers, and zombie leggings.  My other daughter has an online shop, www.etsy.com/shop/shroombloombags , where she designs and crochets mushroom bags from upcycled yarns.

Delhi Dum Aloo - Onion and Yogurt Cooking Sauce

 www.diabetesinsider.tumblr.com

Think about stashing some of these goodies in your work fridge for a fast, healthy, great tasting, not to mention economical lunch.  Best of all it helps you keep sharp the rest of the afternoon!  No blood sugar torpor!

1 pkg. Brown Jasmine Rice, microwave ready 

1 1/2 c. bag Italian Blend Vegetables, frozen

1/2 jar (6 oz.) Onion and Yogurt Cooking Sauce

Peel back the plastic cover on the rice, microwave according to package directions.  In a small bowl, microwave vegetables until defrosted and warm.   On a separate plate, spoon out rice, then put the vegetables on top, sauce on top of all that and a short microwave zap and you have a great hot lunch, the envy of your co-workers!  This sauce was available at my local FredMeyer/Kroger grocer or through Amazon. 

When I’m not experimenting with intriguing Indian sauces that favor my diabetic menu, I’m sewing aprons for my etsy shop (www.diabetesinsider.tumblr.com).  My daughter’s (and friend) have an etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns , where they hand make and sell festival leggings, summer cotton bloomers, and macrame jewelry.
