Tip of the Week:
Many people with diabetes often ask, "What can I drink?" Beverages containing
carbohydrate can increase blood sugar. Milk, juice, and other
beverages (soda pop and fruit drinks) should be worked into your meal plan and counted as carbohydrate choices.
The following drinks have minimal effects on blood sugar:
- water,
- sugar free drink mixes containing little or no calories,
- decaffeinated coffee or tea, or
- diet sugar free soft drinks.
Limit beverages with caffeine as these actually deplete the body of
water. Choose whole fruit more often over fruit juice to increase fiber
in your diet.
Featured Article: "What is the treatment for diabetes?"
Those recently been diagnosed with diabetes, often ask "how will
this change my life?" or "what is the treatment for diabetes?" Treatment
depends on diabetes diagnosis...

Exercise Tip:
Make exercise convenient. Convenience leads to consistency. Choose a physical activity that you can
easily fit into your lifestyle. For example, wake up an hour early to
exercise or exercise during your lunch hour at work. Daily exercise is key so choose convenient activities.
