I live with type 2 diabetes and a deep love of good, simple food.  

​

This is where I share what it's like constantly having to close the gap between what I should do to stay well and what I want to do to avoid immediate discomfort.  While working, parenting and trying to remember to breathe, sit up straight, be mindful, be kind, be courteous, be efficient, look interested, get the right leg in the right pants hole, put the bins out on the right day without getting bin juice on my sleeve... blah blah 

I also share what I've learned from my cousin Waleed (a doctor) and anyone else generous enough to pass on something useful about food and movement.

You'll also find recipes, resources and rants.  Not all from me.  This is intended to be a shared space, curated by me.  It's also a place to publish my blog, ‘A Measured Life’, where you'll find questions, small victories, big failures and observations about anything that occurs to me.

​

If you'd like to share a recipe, resource, rant or observation of your own, send it to me.  I'll share what I can in the time and space available.

Thank you.
