Spring Into Action 2016
This year’s Spring Into Action event for people living with type 2 diabetes featured our Registered Dietitians’ healthy dishes. Our dietitians presented the glycemic index, and how it can be used in a healthy diet for diabetes management. The presentation was followed by the dietitians’ dishes, where each of the three dietitians demonstrated a healthy recipe using a low glycemic index food. We featured Greek yogurt, apples, and white kidney beans. Try incorporating any of these healthy foods regularly.
Some examples we demonstrated:
Greek Yogurt Parfait
Easy Apple Slaw
Mediterranean Bean Salad
The rest of the afternoon included interactive workshops, facilitated by the SUNDEC diabetes nurse educators and dietitians about:
- Navigating Your Blood Sugars
- Food Fallacies
- Exercise
- Medication Options
- Real People, Real Questions
This annual event is a great time to update your knowledge of management of type 2 diabetes. To learn more about SUNDEC education events, or to speak with a Registered Dietitian or Nurse Diabetes Educator, call 416-480-4805.
