Gifts for people with diabetes can be
troublesome for many people. This is why I have reviewed my previous
blogs and will list them for your reading. This blog from December
2012 is one of the better ones.
At this time of year and before
birthdays, people are always looking for gifts that people with
diabetes will appreciate. Joslin Diabetes has a list and some
suggestions
that could be appropriate. I will say that the books listed in the blog should be considered with care as the American Diabetes
Association is not known for low carbohydrate cookbooks, but some may
appreciate them.
One suggestion from the Joslin blog is
the possible purchase of an electronic food scale that calculates the
carb counts of food. This may be on the expensive side for many
people, but could be of value if you have the funds. On the less
expensive side are items like a pedometer or resistance bands. Read
the entire Joslin blog as ideas are presented to the end of the blog.
Another suggestion is a scale that
allows you to zero out the container and give the weight only of
different contents in the container or containers. This is what I
own and I enjoyed it for several years before I remarried and my wife
took over doing most of the cooking.
The second blog is about poor gift
ideas for people with diabetes. Food is often the choice of many
people to give as gifts and why they assume that sugar free is all
they need to be concerned about is puzzling to most of us with type 2
and type 1 diabetes.
The third blog is about various gifts
that are suitable for all ages, from young children to senior
citizens. And many gifts are for different occasions, which can be
valuable for people looking for gifts.
I will be pulling together different
ideas for gifts during the next year and hopefully will have more
suggestions another year.
