June 2023 eNews | Sulfonylurea as Street Drug & Inclusive Care

Happy June

June celebrates Pride Month. Members of the LGBTQ+ community often suffer worse health outcomes and may avoid seeking needed health care due to discrimination or discomfort within our current health care models. Our interview with Theresa Garnero provides important insights and strategies to increase inclusion and embrace diversity in diabetes care and beyond.

In addition, we explore the use of language to increase inclusivity. We changed the title of our course, “Women and Diabetes” to “Diabetes in Pregnancy.” This intentional change recognizes that not everyone who becomes pregnant identifies as a woman. We hope this article provides readers with a new perspective and an opportunity to embrace everyone we serve with love and compassion.

Our next article highlights a troubling cause of hypoglycemia in people without diabetes. Sulfonylureas are being sold as street Valium, causing significant blood sugar drops in unsuspecting purchasers.

We are excited to share our updated Diabetes Self-Care Goal Sheet in English and Spanish which you can download and add your logo for distribution. The handy sheets now include updated blood pressure targets and promote collaboration.

Since saxagliptin was discontinued and dulaglutide is now approved for Pediatrics, we updated the electronic version of our Medication PocketCards to reflect these changes.

Lastly, don’t forget to check out our Question and Rationale of the week. We think you will find them interesting and informative. Plus, we say a fond farewell to amazing Amanda as she moves to Colorado to be closer to family.

Enjoy our $100 off sale on our most popular online courses. It’s our way of saying thank you for the incredible work you do every day.

With gratitude and appreciation,

Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Amanda, and Andrew
