Happy March
Join us in celebration of National Nutrition Month!
We have a whole month to celebrate the healing properties of food and the daunting expertise and abundant knowledge of our nutrition colleagues.
Did you know that people with diabetes who meet with a RD/RDN have a 1-2% drop in A1c?
Dietitians are smart, evidence-based, caring advocates and some of my favorite people. Plus, they have the best teaching tools (who doesn’t love the measuring cups, food models and empty cereal boxes?).
For this newsletter, we focus on the impact of nutrition on health.
We reveal the best rated meal plan and highlight how it earned the number one ranking. We also tackle the topic of B12 deficiency for those on metformin therapy. Plus, we rekindle the magic and memory of fruits and vegetables with the hopes of increasing consumption. Lastly, we detail the recently approved implantable CGM, that only needs to be changed twice a year.
We hope you enjoy our nutrition inspired Question and Rationale of the Week. And, you are invited to attend our Virtual Conference, where we dedicate an entire four hours to MNT, with our expert speaker, Ashley LaBrier, MS, RD, CDCES.
Happy Nutrition Month everyone! In health,
Beverly, Bryanna, Jackson, and Amanda
