Why I am a Diabetes Champion.

Over 30 years ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Instead of looking at it as a “sickness” or an “illness,” I took the diagnosis as an opportunity to change my way of life for the better. And I have found that it’s not that hard! Along with medication, I watch my diet (lots of healthy vegetables and avoiding white bread etc.) and walk as much as I can for exercise. This has kept my health in good check for over 3 decades – and given me loads of energy to enjoy my life.

You should also know I am passionate about chocolate! So passionate in fact, that during my travels I constantly searched the market for a high quality sugar-free chocolate that would satisfy my sweet tooth. This led to the opening of my shop, Dahso Chocolat et Café in Toronto. It is my greatest pleasure to bring the finest European, no sugar-added chocolate to the Diabetes community. The best news is… most of our customers can’t tell the difference.

I salute my fellow “Champions of Diabetes” and say from my own experience that with a little effort life can be sweet!
