This blog is the original work of Denise Elliott, a full time Project Manager and Type II diabetic who also moonlights as wife, mom, daughter, Pug mommy, and public policy advocate. The primary focus of this blog is my quest to live a healthier life both with my diabetes and throughout every aspect of my life. I’ll talk a lot about emancipating foster youth and the struggles they face, active duty military/veterans/military families, and the importance of proper labeling of ingredients in food products as well as my on-going efforts to eat better food and be naturally active.
