Happy November

November kicks off National Diabetes Month, a time to recognize that over 11% of Americans are living with diabetes and over 35% have prediabetes. Since diabetes results from a combination of genetics plus environment, there is a recognition that social determinants of health play a pivotal role in the development of diabetes and its complications. We have compiled a list of our favorite FREE diabetes information resources in English and Spanish to empower people with prediabetes and diabetes.
This newsletter also explores why a new sweetener may confuse those who dose insulin based on carb counting. This vital information can help prevent unintended hypoglycemia.
We include a quick primer on new terms that describe liver disease to better reflect the metabolic inflammation and remove the stigma associated with terms like “fatty” and “non-alcoholic.”
Lastly, we welcome Ginger to our team and invite you to test your knowledge with our Question and Rationale of the Week!
Thank you for your advocacy and belief that we can make a difference.
With thanks to all of you,
Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Andrew, and Ginger

Since diabetes results from a combination of genetics plus environment, there is a recognition that social determinants of health play a pivotal role in the development of diabetes and its complications. Through advocacy and education, we can inform individuals on best care for diabetes and support them in taking action to improve the health of their communities to prevent future diabetes. We have put together a list of FREE diabetes resources in English and Spanish to share with people living with prediabetes and diabetes.
