May eNews | Mental Health Awareness Month
Happy May
Last week, a disheartened individual arrived for their initial diabetes appointment. With slumped shoulders, they shared how a provider had lectured them about their elevated A1C and insisted they add an additional diabetes medication.
This person described how they had made significant progress in healthy eating and moving more, but that didn’t seem to matter to the provider. Worse, this individual just felt like giving up.
The good news is that this heartbreaking story inspired me to take action.
I penned an article on Person-Centered Coaching and then created a PDF Cheat Sheet that you can reference and share with your colleagues.
My hope is that we can all be a part of lifting people up and acknowledging even those tiny lifestyle changes that are so difficult to initiate and sustain. Through careful listening, reflection, and collaboration, we can make meaningful connections that support change in the long run and improve well-being.
We also reflect on one year of action in celebration of Earth Day. Our family is committed to making ten changes in our daily lives to give back to this incredible planet we get to inhabit. In addition, the crew at Diabetes Education Services decided to highlight the benefits of our domestic pets. They not only enhance our work day but also improve the health outcomes of people with diabetes.
Lastly, we are excited to share that people with diabetes can lower their blood sugars by changing the order of the foods consumed. You can read more about these exciting topics below, plus take a stab at our Question and Rationales of the Week.
Thanks for helping to lift people up,
Coach Beverly and Bryanna

Happy Earth Day – 10 Action Steps We Took
Last year, we came up with a list of 10 Simple Steps to improve planetary health. Me and my family committed to making all 10 of these changes and I wanted to report on how we fared for the year. We weren’t perfect, but we definitely made some good progress! Check out our report below!
10 Earth Actions We Took
1. Grow plants native to our area.
We are transforming our yard, plant by plant, with native species. The effort is paying off. The diversity of our bird and butterfly population has dramatically increased, along with a new host of amphibious friends.
By choosing plants that originated from your geographic area, you help support your regional ecosystem and offer pollinators, birds, butterflies, and other healthy critters needed food, pollen, and building materials for their survival.
Read more on our blog, Earth Day Secrets to Improving Planet Health
2. Compost kitchen scraps and cut down on waste
This year, we purchased a Lomi Composter from Pela Earth, and we love it. All of our food scraps go into the Lomi and from this food waste, nutrient-rich compost is created, and serves as the BEST fertilizer, ever. My house and outdoor plants have never looked so good!
3. Eat more sustainable veggies, fruits, and grains and less meat, and processed foods.
My husband, a committed meat eater, recently discovered that his cholesterol was elevated. Overnight, he reached back in time and started cooking the vegetarian dishes of his Armenian grandparents. My kitchen has never smelled so good and the flavors coupled with joy, make each dish extra special. Plus, our fiber intake has dramatically increased and we are all learning more about traditional Armenian foods (so delicious).
4. Drive less and walk more, especially in nature
In addition to walking out day outside with our furry friends, we needed a new car and decided to go completely electric. I can’t tell you how GREAT it feels to drive without creating emissions (and it’s so quiet). In addition, we have enough solar panels to charge our cars and rarely need to go to a charging station.
5. Think of 3 ways to use less water
My husband and I have decreased our frequency of showering and have replaced the emitters in our yard to prevent water waste. Most of our plants are drought-tolerant too.
6. Use cold water to wash, and hang clothes to dry.
Cold water in the washer works as well as warm or hot water for most items. If the weather is bad, we toss wet clothes over chairs and over the headboard. We don’t hang everything to dry, but we are approaching 50%.
7. Turn appliances, lights, and computers off when not in use.
This is an ongoing goal that we keep working on. Our computers are on sleep at night, but we keep forgetting to turn them off.
8. Purchase used items and re-use everything you can. Swap and trade instead of buying new.
As a family, we try to purchase used items and clothes whenever possible. In addition, we work on maintaining our appliances and other household gadgets to extend their life and avoid putting them into landfill.
9. Try to use fewer plastics
Plastic is everywhere and is so hard to avoid. We first committed to no longer buying plastic water bottles and are trying to use refillable soaps, lotions, and other items. When shopping, we bring our reusable bags to the store. The next goal is to avoid buying fresh foods packaged in plastic.
10. Trade out filament light bulbs for new LED bulbs.
We are at 50% of this goal. Since the new LED bulbs last so long, it has decreased the hassle of changing the bulbs and we love the wonderful light color choices too.
Please send us your stories too at [email protected]. We want to hear from you!
For all the earth has given me and I want to give back to this beautiful blue planet. Each intention and action matters.
Each action, no matter how small, matters. We can do this!
With wishes for improved planetary health,
Beverly, Chris, Jackson, Robert and Choochi, and Maverick

April eNews | Spring into Action | Save $100 on Diabetes Training
Happy April
So many of you responded to our newsletter and fantastic $100 off sale, that we decided to extend the savings for another week.
In this newsletter, we celebrate the opportunity to “Spring” into action. Being active, especially outdoors in nature, is a powerful healer that not only lowers blood glucose but significantly contributes to well-being.
Based on 30 years of encouraging people to move more, Coach Beverly compiled some of her favorite approaches and quips that can help reignite body movement.
We are also thrilled to award ten autographed copies of the ADA Standards of Care. Our virtual conference speaker, Diana Isaacs, PharmD, BCPS, BC-ADM, BCACP, CDCES, has been an expert contributor to the standards for the past three years.
Dr. Isaacs was kind enough to sign ten SOC books with an inspiring message. The first ten registrants for our Deluxe Virtual Diabetes Conference will receive a signed ADA Book from this renowned expert and speaker.
Many of you are considering taking the advanced certification exam in diabetes. If this is part of your goals for 2023, we have important information plus resources to help you move forward on achieving your BC-ADM.
For our Question of Week Section, we provide a label reading challenge. How many total grams of fat is on this macaroni and cheese label? We also highlight a carbohydrate counting question and challenge participants to find the best strategy to evaluate liver disease.
For 25 years, our company has provided compassionate and evidence-based training and education. With the recent economic slowdown, we are sensitive to financial barriers and limited resources that might hinder participation in our programs. To help, we are thrilled to extend $100 off our three most popular programs through April 18, 2023.
Sending notes of joy and health,
Coach Beverly and Bryanna

March 2023 eNews | Nutrition Month & Strategies to Address Food Insecurity
Happy National Nutrition Month
Join us in celebration of National Nutrition Month with the theme, “Fuel for the Future”.
In this newsletter, we explore food sustainability while providing multiple strategies to address food insecurity. About 20% of people living with diabetes don’t have adequate access to predictable and healthy food. As diabetes care and education specialists, we can take a leadership role in our healthcare communities and on an individual level to make sure people know how to access food and make their dollars stretch when purchasing groceries.
Our first article dives into healthy eating while keeping the environment in mind. We include lots of additional resources to explore and share with your community.
Bryanna, our Director of Operations, details how she helped to create a community refrigerator that offers fresh fruit, veggies, and dairy products for people living with food insecurity. The end result is heartwarming and nourishing.
Coach Beverly provides ideas on maximizing a person’s purchasing power by choosing lower-cost yet super-healthy foods. In addition, this article contains lots of resources on plant-based foods and recipes that are easy to prepare.
We also celebrate Registered Dietitian Nutritionists with a spotlight on our expert Virtual Conference speaker, Ashley LaBrier, MS, RD, CDCES. Did you know that people with diabetes who meet with an RD/RDN have a 0.3 to 2% drop in A1C levels? Dietitians are evidence-based, caring advocates and some of my favorite people.
We hope you enjoy our nutrition-inspired Questions and Rationales of the Week for the entire month of March!
Wishing you a nutritious month,
Coach Beverly and Bryanna

National Nutrition Month – Tasty Ways to Keep it Sustainable
The Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition is kicking off National Nutrition Month with a new slogan, “Fuel for the Future”.
They are shining a light on considering food consumption through a lens of sustainability. What are some tasty ways to nourish ourselves during every phase of life and protect the environment?
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are experts in addressing this question. But how can all diabetes care and education specialist help support healthy habits that are sustainable and celebrate the individual’s unique needs?
Strategies to eat with the environment in mind
Plant-Based Meals and Snacks
A great way to get started is to help people learn how to enjoy more plant-based meals and snacks and decrease meat intake. Both the American Diabetes Association and the American Academy of Endocrinologists highly recommend plant-based nutrition for people with diabetes. Not only are plant-based foods packed full of nutrients, protein, and fiber, they generally confer fewer calories and decrease inflammation. Another added bonus is that they have less impact on planetary health and are more sustainable.
Plant-based eating resources including recipes below. Feel free to copy and share!

- Plant-Based Cooking – Recipes »
- Plant-based diet may benefit patients with diabetes – Smart Brief
- Vegetarian Starter Kit » an easy-to-read and colorful handout for patients interested in learning more about a vegetarian diet. Published by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Sustainable Eating and Decreasing Food Waste
About one-third of all food is tossed into the trash, filling up landfills and increasing methane gas release. Some strategies to decrease waste include finding creative ways to use leftovers rather than tossing them and composting uneaten foods. Encouraging people to buy foods in season and shop locally when possible can make a big impact on the environment while reducing food costs. Another idea is to start a container or backyard garden to grow food at home.
Resources on decreasing food waste and increasing sustainable eating:
- Sustainable Eating article by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
- Food Dates Lead to Waste- Taste Before Tossing
- 5 tips for Sustainable Eating article by Harvard School of Public Health
- Sustainable Eating Resource Hub by Food Print
- Produce from Purchase to Plate – Steps to Reduce Food Waste article by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
- Local Farmer’s Market Finder by Local Harvest – find Community Supported Agriculture farmers in your area.
To stretch dollars, use a grocery list and shop sales when purchasing food. See what foods are at home before purchasing more.
How many times have you returned from shopping, only to discover you already had that bag of carrots tucked away in the back of the refrigerator? But by taking an inventory of what we have and creating a list of what is needed, we can all reduce waste. When shopping, encourage people to start with the outside isles, which generally display healthier foods while avoiding the center and display isles. Incorporating favorite cultural foods into the shopping list and eating foods in various forms including fresh, frozen, canned, and dried, can add to the variety and affordability.
Practice gratitude for your body by giving it the fuel it needs.
Choosing foods that nourish our body and expressing gratitude for the labor and work that went into harvesting and preparing our food, can improve our relationship with food. Making meals at home, by ourselves or with people we live with, can create connections and joy. By learning cooking and meal preparation skills, people have the opportunity to try new foods and enjoy flavors from around the world. Taking time to enjoy our food by mindfully eating and creating long lasting memories with friends and family is a great place to get started on this journey to tasty and sustainable eating.
Happy Nutrition Month everyone and thank you for considering these small changes, which when added up, make a big difference.

New Type 1 Diabetes Treatment Approved – More Expansive Screening Needed?
With the approval of Tzield (teplizumab-mzwv), an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, we can now offer children 8 years and older an opportunity to delay the progression to type 1 diabetes for up to two years or longer and improve beta cell function.
Teplizumab is the first disease-modifying therapy that impedes the progression of type 1 diabetes by binding to the surface of T cells to dampen the unwanted immune system response. It can delay the onset of symptomatic stage 3 type 1 diabetes in adults and children 8 years and older with stage 2 type 1 diabetes (see staging chart).
It is administered by intravenous infusion once daily for 14 consecutive days and is expected to cost in the region of $200,000 for the course of treatment.
Teplizumab is indicated for the individual in stage 2 type 1 diabetes, or for those with two or more islet autoantibodies and abnormal glycemia but still asymptomatic. People with stage 2 type 1 diabetes, have a nearly 100% lifetime risk of progression to clinical (stage 3) type 1 diabetes and a 75% risk of developing the condition within 5 years.
Results from a landmark clinical type 1 prevention trial conducted by TrialNet showed that with a two-week course of teplizumab:
- 72% of people in the control group developed clinical diabetes, compared to only 43% of the teplizumab group.
- The median time for people in the control group to develop clinical diabetes (stage 3) was just over 24 months, while those in the treatment group had an average of 48 months before progressing to clinical diabetes (stage 3).
Insulin production in response to glucose was impaired in the participants before they enrolled in the trial. In participants given an inactive placebo, insulin production declined through the first six months of the study. But in those treated with teplizumab, insulin production improved after treatment.
These results suggest that a single course of Teplizumab may provide long-lasting improvement in beta cell function. This, in turn, could delay or even prevent the development of type 1 diabetes in high-risk individuals.
More Screening for Type 1 Needed?
The ability to halt the progression of stage 2 type 1 diabetes from progressing to symptomatic stage 3 diabetes brings the prospect of more wide spread screening for type 1 into sharper focus. Currently, 40-50% of new type 1 diabetes is diagnosed when the individual is admitted to the hospital in a life-threatening hyperglycemic crisis or DKA. Studies suggest, identifying children at risk of future type 1 could avert DKA presentation, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in hospital costs and allowing for early CD3 monoclonal antibody intervention.
Based on data from Trialnet, even though type 1 diabetes runs in families, 85 – 90% of people don’t have a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes. That means, broader screening initiatives will be needed to identify those at risk for type 1 and eligible for the benefits of Teplizumab therapy.
Universal genetic or antibody screening in the future?
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is working toward a two-pronged screening approach.
This includes testing infants at birth with a genetic risk score combined with antibody screening. With this approach, providers can monitor kids with high genetic risk scores – based on human leukocyte antigen haplotypes, and provide education to family members regarding signs of hyperglycemia. In addition, antibody screening can help identify the stage of autoimmunity and help guide treatment action.
Researchers now have solid proof that immunotherapy can slow the progression of type 1 diabetes. This offers hope to conduct additional studies to extend the benefits of teplizumab, while continuing to test other immune therapies. Keep posted!
