Finding My Tribe – Diabetic Meet Up
I have not been part of a Diabetes community for quite some time. My parents used to take me to meetings and Diabetic camps, but it kind of died in Primary School. This really made me feel so alone. I had some pen pals who I exchanged letters with through the years but I lostContinue reading “Finding My Tribe – Diabetic Meet Up”
Klipkrans-Where the silence makes a noise
Fishing to me has always seemed so pointless. I could never imagine just sitting there waiting for a bite, then reeling it in just to let it go. I did not get it. In March this year we went to Klipkrans, situated between Worcestor and Villiersdorp. We just needed a break. 2020 was shit andContinue reading “Klipkrans-Where the silence makes a noise”

This is his unedited (accept for spelling mistakes) answers. 1. Where did we meet? At a mutual friend’s house, while still in a relationship 2. Where was our firstContinue reading “Hubby Say it Like it is”

She has been a huge motivation in my Diabetes Management and I like to call her The Low Carb Queen. I asked her some questions to share her mountainsContinue reading “Eating Low Carb with The Insulin Type”
Anél – An Interview

I asked her a few questions. 1. Job Title and Qualifications BSc Dietetics (2002), Masters in Nutrition (2011) – Stellenbosch University 2. WhoContinue reading “Anél – An Interview”
Paarl/Franschoek Wineland Outing
We try and always go away around our birthdays. We like to make it special and each one can choose on their birthday where they would like to go. This birthday was before Covid times. I have always wanted to visit Franschoek and spent time there. I wanted to go on the wine tram andContinue reading “Paarl/Franschoek Wineland Outing”
