Happy National Pie Day! 🎉
Pie has so many fans that it’s celebrated twice a year (January 23 and December 1). There`s also Pi Day, observed annually on March 14, during which pie usually receives a delicious, honorable mention. 😋
As with most food-centric holidays, Pie Day can be tricky. By planning ahead and focusing on portion control, ingredient substitutions, and timing, people managing diabetes can take part in this scrumptious occasion, too. Here are some tips:
🍗 Enjoy pie after a well-balanced meal rich in protein and fiber to help slow glucose absorption.
🍽️ Practice moderation and savor your sweet treat slowly, mindful sensory experience.
🚶 Light movement after eating can help minimize the chance of post-dessert blood sugar spikes.
Some pies are naturally easier to adapt to align with diabetes management goals, including:
🍏 Apple pies and tarts: Apples are a good source of fiber and natural sweetness, and warm spices like cinnamon enhance sweetness, making it easier to reduce added sugar without losing flavor.
🫐 Berry pies (blueberry, raspberry, mixed berry): Berries are lower on the glycemic index than many fruits, and their bright, bold flavors mean you can use less sweetener without sacrificing yumminess.
🧡 Pumpkin pie: Pumpkin purée is high in fiber, and because the flavor comes largely from spices and richness rather than sweetness alone, reducing sugar is often less noticeable.
🥧 Pecan pie: Nuts add fat and protein, which can help slow glucose spikes and make smaller portions feel more filling.
🍮 Creamy custard pies: As decadent as they are, cream pies can usually be made without a crust, and full-fat dairy products can be swapped out for sugar-free, fat-free, or low-fat alternatives.
What kind of pie will you be enjoying today? Let us know in the comments!

Severe diabetes distress affects one in five people living with the condition. If not addressed, DD can escalate and transition to diabetes burnout, a more advanced state of mental and emotional exhaustion and overwhelm.
It’s important to understand that diabetes distress is not only common but a reasonable response to managing a chronic health condition, not a personal failure.
If you are struggling, reach out to loved ones and talk to your care team. You don`t have to carry this alone. 🩷

In the U.S., only about 9% of adults who set New Year’s resolutions maintain them for the entire year. Nearly a quarter of resolution-makers report dropping at least one resolution within the first week of January.
One of the main reasons people abandon resolutions after a mistake is perfectionistic thinking.
When New Year’s resolutions are approached with an all-or-nothing, perfectionist mindset, falling short feels like failure. That sense of failure can be discouraging enough to lead people to quit after a single mistake.
By contrast, a flexible, progress-focused mindset allows mistakes and setbacks to be viewed as growth opportunities and part of the learning process rather than a reason to give up.
Unrealistic expectations do not have to derail your New Year’s resolutions. When you fall short, avoid self-judgment. Instead of quitting, reset, continue and remember: progress beats perfection every time.
Happy New Year! May you enter 2026 with courage and self-compassion
Cheers to leaving what no longer serves you behind and making room for whatever lies ahead. 🩷#jqcares #happynewyear #2026 #diabetesmanagement
The first day of winter is less than a week away. A busy holiday season + colder temperatures can pose significant blood management challenges, including:
➡️ Less physical activity/more time spent inside.
➡️ Balancing nutrition with enjoying holiday favorites.
➡️ Greater likelihood of getting sick, which can disrupt care.
➡️ Prolonged cold exposure can raise stress hormones, potentially spiking blood glucose (cold stress).
➡️ Keeping diabetes supplies and electronic devices warm.
Tips to stay balanced:
🩷 Adapt your exercise routine to be accessible indoors (even while traveling).
🩷 Instead of restricting your holiday favorites, plan treats ahead of time, enjoy them mindfully, and balance them with healthy meals and snacks.
🩷 Limit your exposure to cold.
🩷 Consult your doctor about getting a flu shot.
🩷 Keep diabetes supplies insulated and avoid exposing devices to freezing temperatures.

The words we choose can either support engagement and motivation for people managing diabetes or create barriers that make management harder. When conversations about diabetes are person-centered and grounded in objective, respectful language, they help people feel seen, understood, and empowered — and that makes a meaningful difference.
💙 This #DiabetesAwarenessMonth and beyond, let`s commit to choosing language that promotes dignity, clarity, and respect.
#WorldDiabetesDay is observed annually on 14 November, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922. It was established by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization to raise global awareness of diabetes and highlight the growing impact of the condition worldwide.
Diabetes and the experiences of those who live with the condition are often misunderstood, minimized, or oversimplified. World Diabetes Day marks a moment where the realities of diabetes—access issues, stigma, mental health impacts, cost barriers, and the demands of day-to-day management—are brought into focus.
🩷 Today and every day, JQ Medical remains committed to supporting individuals and families affected by diabetes with clarity, compassion, and reliable care.
