Keeping Your Heart Healthy with Diabetes
Why are people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes more at risk for heart disease? Over time, high blood glucose can damage the blood vessels, putting people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes at a higher risk for atherosclerosis, or “hardening of the arteries.” Atherosclerosis also causes high blood pressure raising the risk for heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. Keeping blood glucose in the target range through self-care tasks, such as taking medications, eating balanced meals, and physical activity can prevent this damage to blood vessels and lower your risk of heart disease

Cajun Grains
Author Jackie Newgent loves flexitarian recipes—dishes that can be made with meat or without. "This scrumptious whole-grain side is inspired by classic 'dirty' rice," she says. "Thank you, Louisiana! My version is made with a well-seasoned ground turkey mixture and beans. You can make a vegan version of this, too. Replace the ground turkey with 8 ounces finely chopped mushrooms of choice along with 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper—and use the vegetable broth, of course. If you wish, serve a larger portion as an entrée."
Oven-Baked Maduros (Sweet Plantains)
This might not look like much of a recipe, but fried sweet plantains are a staple side dish in most Latin countries. Typically lunch consists of rice, steak, and beans plus a side of maduros. Baking them is much easier than frying and it brings out all their natural sugars. The secret here is to use super-ripe plantains. Plantains are one of the better carbs you can consume, because they’re filled with potassium, they can help regulate digestion and boost the immune system, and much more. So go ahead and enjoy them in moderation.
