NEW YORK, NY – When legendary singer Patti LaBelle learned she had diabetes over 20 years ago, she thought that meant no more fun in the kitchen – a thought shared by many of the 1.4 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes each year. However, she soon realized that she could not just live with diabetes – but live well.

For Patti, a diabetes diagnosis was a wake-up call to take better care of herself, and she committed to a daily exercise routine and started being more mindful of what she ate. Although she still enjoys cooking some of her more decadent dishes for friends and family, she’s learned to adapt her cooking style to suit both her needs and her taste buds. Simple steps utilized by Patti every day – like walking her dogs and replacing certain products for options with less sugar – can help many diabetics hit a high note in the way they live their lives.
To get the word out about how anyone can live a fit and fabulous life with diabetes, Patti LaBelle, teamed with D S Simon Media, YourUpdate TV, and Hood Calorie Countdown on a nationwide media tour.
“Hood Calorie Countdown– a creamy and delicious dairy beverage that has 42% fewer calories, 75% less sugar and 67% fewer carbohydrates than regular milk – is a great diabetic-friendly or low-calorie option for those who miss milk in their diet. Calorie Countdown is a great option for those focused on living a healthier lifestyle – myself included. Calorie Countdown lets me enjoy my cereal in the morning without worrying about counting calories or carbs,” said Mrs. LaBelle.
