April 2025 eNews | Sticking with GLP-1s ? & Actos Makes a Comeback ?

Happy April Subscriber!

With the emerging sunshine and nature in bloom, do you feel like you have a personal invitation to take an outdoor stroll or enjoy reconnecting with the rhythms of the natural world? We invite you to join us in celebrating Earth Day on April 22nd. Our blog might even inspire you to add native plants into your life after reading about how easy it is to get started.

Over one-third of people started on a GLP-1 and stopped taking the medication within the year. You can help decrease this high stoppage rate by incorporating some simple strategies into your teaching points when starting people on this highly effective medication class.

I remember the buzz with the release of pioglitazone (Actos) in the early 2000s. We were thrilled to have an agent that specifically addressed insulin resistance. Its popularity waned due to side effects, but you will want to read more about why it is making a comeback. .

Lastly, we consider releasing judgment and embracing curiosity when providing care to people with diabetes. You are invited to join our new group, “Healing Through Connection”. This group provides a safe, healing space for healthcare professionals to share authentic experiences and feelings about caregiving.

Test your knowledge and prepare for exam success with our Question and Rationale of the Week.

We are thrilled to offer our Free Webinar on “Behavior Change Made Easy,” plus a bunch of other great programs. Hope to see you there.

With love,

Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Tiffany, Christine, Andrew & Katarina
