July 2024 eNews | Meds Update, Food Insecurity, EMBARK Trial, Keeping Cool in the Heat

Happy July


This month’s newsletter is packed full of information that you can incorporate into your clinical practice and share with your community.

We are thrilled to present the findings of the EMBARK Trial, a significant study that Coach Beverly had the privilege of participating in. She shares her unique insights and the profound impact of the study on her clinical practice. 

With the escalating rates of food insecurity in the U.S., we delve into the bidirectional relationship between food insecurity and diabetes. We equip you with practical resources to assess and address this issue in your practice.

Victoza is the first GLP-1 to go generic. Will the reduced cost of this daily GLP-1 influence buying patterns? Plus, another SGLT-2i is approved for kids over the age of 10. Read more below. 

As the temperature rises, people with diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular events and hyperglycemic crises. We provide a list of 19 actions people with diabetes can take to keep cool, along with a downloadable cheat sheet to share in your practice.

The DiabetesEd Training Program Scholarship application must be submitted by July 24th. Please share this educational opportunity with any interested colleagues or apply yourself.

Finally, don’t forget to challenge your knowledge with our question and rationale of the week.

Thank you for improving the care of people living with diabetes.

 

Sending notes of joy and health,

Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Tiffany, Christine, Andrew, and Ginger
