November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and the Mamavation community wants to help lessen the effects of Type II Diabetes with Better’n Eggs products. This chronic disease affects 25.8 million children and adults in the U.S, but it can be prevented.
Unfortunately, I know too much about Type II Diabetes, since it runs in my family. My mother is one of six siblings and 4 of them have/had Type II Diabetes. Two of them are insulin dependent. I’ve seen the devastating health effects that Diabetes causes and I don’t want this for my family. Since one of the factors is family history, I am concerned about knowing the symptoms and want to prevent Diabetes for myself and my children.
Prevention of Type II Diabetes
A healthy diet and becoming and staying active are two ways to help prevent Type II Diabetes. You can learn more about prevention tips during the #betterneggs Twitter party including Oprah’s personal trainer and health and wellness expert Bob Greene. The party will be held on on 11/16 from

I’ve been working on a healthy diet for my general health. Sure, I give in to my cravings once in a while, but eating healthy and low calorie foods is important to me. Crystal Farms Better’n Eggs and AllWhites is a good addition to eating better.
