Tip sheets cover the following topics: healthy holiday eating, healthy eating during football season, blood glucose monitoring, cardiovascular disease, insulin injection, mental health resources, how to remember to take medications and many other helpful self-management topics.
The most timely patient tip sheet for this month is Healthy Summer Picnics. This great handout includes information about healthy eating options at summer barbeques and picnics, including The Paper Plate Plan for Healthy Eating and three easy-to-prepare healthy summer recipes. Summer fun activities are featured as well. Recommendations for healthy summer eating include: choose lean grilled meats, include grilled and fresh vegetables, drink water instead of sweetened beverages and go easy on the alcohol, eat small portions, hold the mayo and bring a healthy dish to share. All are practical and easy to incorporate into daily life.
