Happy August
July has been an absolute scorcher. This extreme heat affects the health of vulnerable populations, including people with diabetes.
Our first newsletter article provides a concise summary of steps people with diabetes can take to keep safe during intense heat. Plus, we have included a FREE handout to share with your community.
Many people with diabetes are unaware that lancets and needles are considered hazardous waste and don’t know how to dispose of these sharps safely. We highlight an interactive website that provides safe disposal information customized by location.
To continue our 25 Year celebration, we are excited to announce our new FREE Podcast Series, “Diabetes Decoded with Coach Beverly.” Listen on-the-go to our nine available podcasts with more to come! Special thanks to my son, Jackson, for working over the summer to set up our Podcast station before heading off to study chemistry at UC Berkeley.
More celebrating with two free webinars this month— our new “Behavior Change Theories Made Easy” and our annual 3 Steps to DeFEET amputation. Invite your colleagues and join this fun learning opportunity.
Our updated Medication PocketCards are ready for shipping, and we invite you to challenge yourself with our Question and Rationale of the Week below.
We have more exciting swag and giveaway announcements coming soon as we continue to celebrate 25 years. Stay tuned!
With gratitude and appreciation,
Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Andrew, and Jackson
