Welcome to American Diabetes awareness month! As a Houston podiatrist, I’ve seen first hand the toll this disease can take on your feet, and I’ve made it my mission to help people stay on top of their diabetic health through regular foot exams and healthy eating.
Throughout November, in addition to weekly diabetic recipes, I’ll also be sharing important diabetes information you need to know to stay healthy. To kick things off, let’s all try this delicious Roasted Chicken recipe from the American Diabetes Association. Enjoy!
