Sugar Bolus - 3 of my FAVORITE things
I am so excited to get to host the Sugar Bolus this week!
I have three of my
favorite
products to giveaway --- I hope you
love
them all as much as I do!1st up
One of our favorite products around here!
Nate wears a Custom 3D Band as his diabetic alert bracelet & we are crazy about them! I love them so much I asked them to host a Sugar Bolus at Houston We Have A Problem and what do you know . . .
They said YES!
Custom 3D Bands is offering not 1, but 2 bands in your choice of sizes and colors. PLUS ---- 1 diabetic alert sleeve!!
The diabetic alert sleeves are great to put on a watchband, shoe laces or even an adjustable baseball cap. Genius!
I blogged about my love for Custom 3D Bands back in September. They are perfect for a kid or an adult on the GO! They are soft and flexible yet so well made that Nate hasn't even been able to damage it! <-- That's saying a lot.

Nate wears XS but they come in a variety of sizes ranging from X-Small to X-Large. One of the partners of this great company is not only a Mama --- she is a D Mama! Her son was diagnosed with Type 1 just 17-months ago --- just a few months before Nate. We've chatted online and I think she is pretty spectacular!!

Yum-Yum!

2nd Up
is a tasty treat from
Yum-Yum!
Kay's Naturals contacted Team Super Nate back in September to offer up a very generous donation. They sent enough snacks and goodies to feed all 100 walkers + some for the Houston family to enjoy at home. I was blown away by their generosity. I was also blown away that ALL THREE of my kids LOVED everything we received. That is a rare thing 'round these parts!
What the Houston's Love:
- Apple Cinnamon Cereal (100 calories, 9g protein, 15g carbs - per 1oz serving)
- French Vanilla Cereal (100 calories, 9g protein, 15g carbs - per 1oz serving)
- Cinnamon Almond Cookies (110 calories, 10g protein, 15g carbs - per 1oz serving)
- Honey Almond Cookies (110 calories, 10g protein, 15g carbs - per 1oz serving)
What this D-Mama Loves:
- No BG spikes
- All of the products are Gluten Free
- No HFCS
- Delicious
Kay's Naturals would like to send the WINNER of this SUGAR BOLUS a SAMPLE PACK of their delicious treats!!
Their Story:
Kay’s Naturals products were developed by Dr. Massoud Kazemzadeh (known as “Dr. Kay”) for his first wife, Linda, a juvenile diabetic. After years of seeing his wife suffer with her illness, he knew the marketplace offered few options for people with diabetes. A diabetic-friendly diet is a reduced carbohydrate diet. But all products in the snack and cereal markets – loved by consumers for their convenience – were mostly, if not all carbohydrate.
Sharing his thoughts with Linda, they developed the idea of starting a company that would make the snacks and cereals that consumers love in a healthier format: more protein and fiber. They registered the name “Kay’s Naturals” with the state of Minnesota and wrote a business plan. Dr. Kay began testing product prototypes. Sadly, just at this time, Linda’s diabetes took a turn for the worse and she passed away from complications related to diabetes in 1997.
After Linda’s passing, Kay’s Naturals would lay dormant for the next few years, but Dr. Kay and Linda’s dream was always present for him. He understood the food choice disadvantages facing people with diabetes and was committed to pursuing the plan he and Linda had worked so hard to develop. Eventually, Dr. Kay would marry Ann Jones, an attorney from Texas.
Understanding the importance of Linda and Dr. Kay’s dream, Ann eventually took leadership of the company and began marketing Kay’s Naturals products. Dr. Kay continued developing crunchy snacks and cereals that combined excellent flavor with a healthier nutritional profile: approximately 33% soy protein, 10% fiber and 57% net carbohydrates. Today, Kay’s Naturals sells a dozen products – 3 cereals, 4 snacks, 3 pretzels and 2 cookies. With food scientist Dr. Kay at the helm, Kay’s Naturals is always developing new products.
