10 Gifts for People with Diabetes
The season of giving is here! Do you have an individual with diabetes on your list, but are stumped on what to get them? Maybe you’re looking to treat yourself? Here is a list of 10 gift for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes! 1. Moisturizing lotions: While dry skin is not exclusive to those who have diabetes, it is often a complaint. To some, their skin feels drier and itchier when their blood sugars are high. To help combat dry skin, consider picking up some ultramoisturizing lotion to keep looking and feeling hydrated during these cold months. 2. Travel Cases: Specially designed to take insulin pens, test strip containers, lancets, and thermogels, organizers are an easy way to transport supplies. Just make sure your organizer comes with a cooling pack or pick one up separately! 3. Cookbooks: By eating healthier, being more physically active, and losing weight, you can reduce your symptoms. Taking steps to prevent or control diabetes doesn’t mean living in deprivation; eating a tasty, balanced diet will also boost your energy and improve your mood.
