Rev Run & Justine Share 5 Healthy Diabetic Friendly Recipes + Interview {VIDEO}
Did you know that Diabetes affects 1 out of 3 American adults?
I didn’t realize how close Diabetes was to me until it hit home when a close friend told me her daughter was diagnosed. Or a few years ago even closer when my cousin was diagnosed. Most people don’t even realize that the disease could be running through their family and need to take the proper steps to learn about their risk.
The following risk factors are most common for type 2 Diabetes:
- Being aged 45 or older
- Lacking physical activity
- Being overweight
- Having high blood pressure
- Having a family history of diabetes
- Being a member of certain ethnic groups (non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Alaska Natives)
- Having had diabetes during a pregnancy, or giving birth to a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds)
Rev Run & Justine
Rev Run & his amazing wife Justine are ambassadors for Novo Nordisk and the AskScreenKnow.com website that gives you a risk factor assessment so you can be educated on your health.
Last week, I got to sit down with Rev Run and his beautiful wife to chat about the importance of being educated and making healthy choices. Before we get to that however, we were treated to an amazing healthy eating cooking lesson from Top Chef contestant Chef Tiffany Derry.
She taught us how to make some fantastic easy healthy recipes that still taste amazing.

Love that you got to speak to Rev. Run and Justine for such a worthy cause. By the way, my dad’s brother actually developed diabetes later in life. So yes it is something I have thought about and try to be aware for myself genetically speaking. So again thanks for sharing this great info here with me today.
My hubs family has a few people who have it. I know I need to exercise more I am pre diabetic the doc hasn’t put me on anything but she said I had until Dec to loose some weight or she would I am borderline so I have been moving and eating much better these days because I don’t want it
My brother was diagnosed with type 1 which was so scary.
Type 2 seems to be on the rise! My grandmother got it but not until she was 80. I will do anything to prevent it!
OMG great interview Nellie! I love Rev Run and Justine. I’m heading to learn more about their site!
Wow, great interview 🙂 I definitely lack some healthy recipes lately, now I know exactly where to look for them 🙂
I think about it all the time. My father had it, and it is ultimately what took him from me way too soon. So, yeah, it’s a scary thing to think about but too scary not to. xo
