Happy September

We also invite you to join three FREE webinars we are offering in September. You can pop in for our CDCES or BC-ADM Prep webinars, which Coach Beverly will be broadcasting from her international office in France.

Next, we feature Dr. Diana Isaacs discussing the proposed Medicare (CMS) drug price negotiations designed to make commonly used and expensive medications more affordable. Four of the ten medications outlined are used to treat people with diabetes. You can learn more about this proposal and view a podcast where Dr. Isaacs and Dr. Bellini provide more details in our featured article.

Eating more fruits and vegetables as part of a prescription program improved the health of study participants at over twelve different sites. The goal is to create sustainable, community-based programs that will enhance access to these healing foods for the long term.

After working at Diabetes Education Services for over a decade, my son, Jackson, is kicking off his chemistry studies at UC Berkeley. We sure miss him, but we are excited to cheer him on as he enters this next phase of life. Thank you, Jackson, for your contributions and for recommending Ginger Nichols to continue your legacy.

We invite you to challenge yourself with our question and rationale of the week. We hope you can join our three-day live conference and 25-Year celebration party, cupcakes and swag included, in San Diego.

With gratitude and appreciation,

Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Andrew, and Ginger
