Happy April 

With the emerging sunshine and nature in bloom, it feels like a personal invitation to awaken from the winter slumber and take an outdoor stroll or enjoy the simple pleasure of planting. To celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd, we highlight how to incorporate native plants into daily life and support healthy ecosystems. Our nutrition expert explores how yogurt decreases the risk of type 2 diabetes and dives into the science of this century’s old favorite food. We discuss the importance of screening for undetected liver disease to provide early and focused treatment to prevent progression to liver failure. In addition, we feature a new FDA approved medication that treats liver disease and fibrosis with a list of diabetes medications that also offer effective treatment. The new over-the-counter sensor, Stelo, is FDA-approved and should be available for purchase in late summer. We examine its features and limitations. Our first “Connect with Coach Beverly” was a big hit, so we are offering it again in April. You are invited to submit your questions and join our lively discussion. For our Question of Week Section, we ask, “Why don’t the CGM and meter reading match? And “What is the best treatment for steatosis?” Test your knowledge and prepare for exam success. We are thrilled to offer our Free Webinars on CDCES and BC-ADM Prep, plus a bunch of other great programs. Hope to see you there.

Sending notes of joy and health, Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Brent, Christine, Andrew, and Ginger
