In my search for diabetic-friendly restaurants in NYC, I came across a website for an organization called “Diatize”, which seeks to give people who either have diabetes or are obese access to affordable healthy foods and exercise facilities. Well you guys know me- I was immediately intrigued! I reached out and had the opportunity to interview the founder of Diatize, Dennis Sheehan, who is himself a Type 2 diabetic. Little did I know that Dennis is also a professionally-trained chef living in East Harlem! Dennis shares his personal story of being diagnosed with diabetes, his path to managing the disease by eating healthier & working out and how he hopes Diatize will help others like him. Read on for a truly inspirational story!
