Team Gladiators participated in their First Annual Family Gras Fundraiser by selling excellent food and promoting the Louisiana Tour de Cure. Through the 3 day weekend an estimated 75,000 people walked through Family Gras listening to bands and enjoying the culture. Through the weekend, the  Gladiators raised over $3000 to support the Louisiana Tour de Cure! A special thanks goes to Craig and Tiffany Clark who are the captains of the Gladiators, along with Wesley Mitchel and his two daughters, Eric Amerland and other team members – the  masterminds behind this wonderful fundraiser!

Trying to get back on the healthy eating wagon now that Mardi Gras is behind us? There are a multitude of recipes, including ones with Louisiana flavor, on diabetes.org. Recipes for Healthy Living is your link to healthy recipes and meal planning ideas. This week we are featuring Cajun Shrimp and Pepper Pasta. This pasta dish is creamy, flavorful and fun to make! The shrimp makes a great lean protein source, and it’s tossed with a whole-grain pasta and veggies. Get the recipe here and keep things interesting for dinner this week!

Happy New Year to you all.  I hope you all had a chance to celebrate the start of 2015 in good spirits with family and friends.  Now that we’re into the New Year, I know that you are all looking ahead and thinking about what this year may bring — including in our fight to Stop Diabetes.

The ADA marks its 75th anniversary in 2015.  As we celebrate that milestone, I would like to thank you all for your support and dedication to the work that the ADA is doing in our community. I’m sure by working together, keeping focused on our goals and putting our constituencies first, we can realize our ambitions. These will certainly continue to be my priorities.  I hope we can all do the same as we work together on this critical effort.
