Welcome to the New Year

new_yearIt has been too long since I have written a blog or a post. I know I can give myself a lot of reasons, good reasons, to explain the delay. We have been so busy shooting the film and getting ready to air the TV show. We have been working on letting more people learn about our high quality, Belgian chocolate bar that is not only delicious but diabetic friendly. The list goes on. It is good to take this time to talk to you again because you and I are a team. You are a very important part of this team. Please let me know your challenges and your needs. We can work together to help us diabetics live healthier, happier lives.

The Los Angeles Post - Winning Diabetes Thru Diet

An interview with Charles Mattocks by Jaclyn Holtzman of The Los Angeles Post

Step away from the cookies and cake; I repeat, step away from the cookies and cake. Just because 'tis the season to be jolly, does not mean 'tis the season to get diabetes. Seem extreme? Not so. It is easy to splurge gastronomically during the winter months because, other than our jeans fitting a bit snug for a few days, there are no repercussions. Right? "Wrong," says celebrity chef Charles Mattocks. In a recent conversation, he reminded me that, "diabetes isn't something you can feel. So, I can eat a chocolate cake tonight and never feel an effect, but over time I can have heart disease...I could lose a toe, a foot a leg."
