My name is Hanna and I am retired from nursing. I am a sculptor and jeweler. I was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus June 2015. Of course I knew 1 or 2 foods I needed to stop or severely cut back on. Using the site has been such an education about carbs and how 'eating out' is very difficult. The site has helped me a great deal.

I am in the midst of moving my business and my home to 2 places, so life is crazy. My husband has M.S. He is doing pretty well except for occasional emotional outbursts and needing to sleep 12 hours a day. Heat makes him worse.

I love creating, design, reading, bonsai hostas, ethnic"outfits", artifacts for jewelry work, figurative sculpting (bronze,stone,clay) and living in the woods and finding some Wildness in my life.. I have my own physical challenges of frequent "leaky gut" (smoldering diverticulitis) and now having diabetes. I have learned that I can't stop life's challenges, but I can handle this hour one step at a time.
