Wines To Find Ep 8: Low Sugar Wines & A Dose Of Doris

This week’s wines were an Evolution White Blend and a Famille Hugel Pinot Blanc.

Hear guest Doris Hobbs’s Wine Story, which includes her diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes in her 30’s, and learn how she combined her burgeoning career as a fashion blogger and her interest in wine while balancing her diagnosis.

Doris’ story of resilience is inspiring. Hosts Sandy and Michelle talk with her about her fears of a Type 1 diagnosis. Doris shares her positivity and determination to manifest her life as she chooses it to be, while accepting the challenges she’s been given and rising to meet them.

With Doris’s writing abilities and connections in the wine world, she is able to bring awareness of Type 1 with a twist.  Not only does she write about wine but she also has a cookbook, 23 Delicious Recipes For Diabetics. The downloadable digital cookbook focuses on delicious foods to help with balancing blood sugar. She does mention the difference in Type 1 and Type 2; Type 1 Diabetics can’t  produce their own insulin. But, it is still beneficial to eat a diet that includes complex carbohydrates.
