Diabetic Foodie

Shelby Kinnaird, aka. “Diabetic Foodie” has lived with type 2 diabetes since 1999. In 2010, she created the Diabetic Foodie platform to share her love for healthy, great-tasting, and diabetes-friendly food.

Shelby is an active diabetes advocate who has participated in the American Diabetes Association’s “Call to Congress” multiple times where she speaks to lawmakers about the challenges of living with diabetes in the United States.

She has been featured in publications such as Healthline, Good Housekeeping, Health Central, and Take Control of Your Diabetes, and has written several books about living and cooking with diabetes.

In 2020, she decided to pursue her passions for cooking, teaching, and advocacy in a different way and handed over the reins of the Diabetic Foodie platform to the Diabetes Strong team.
