From Elizabeth Woolley, your Guide to Type 2 Diabetes
I have a handful of ideas for fruit and vegetable platters that are simple and nutritious. I try to remember them for those last-minute gatherings when I'm short on time, stressed, and struggling for ideas. I am sharing my top picks with you. Also in this newsletter, read about (and read) a comic aimed at raising awareness of diabetes risks for teens as well as information about diabetes socks.

A Diabetes Comic and Mobile App
Arizona State Museum at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona collaborated with a local Native American artist to develop a comic book and digital mobile app to help educate teens about type 2 diabetes and behaviors that could reduce risk. The result is a comic book called It's Up 2 You! and an interactive free mobile app with a digital version of the comic. Don't have a smart phone? Never fear, you can view the comic on the web.

5 Simple and Fresh Vegetable Platters to Share
How many times have you gone to a party or gathering and there were no healthy options available. How often have you had to take your own? I have to do this quite a bit, and also have found that I tend to draw a blank when trying to figure out what to take. I have found it helpful to have some basic, cheap, and easy go-to ideas.

5 Simple and Fresh Fruit Platters to Share
Oh parties...the cakes, pies, cookies, and other homemade sweets. It can be very easy to overindulge. Take along some easy and basic fresh fruit platters brimming with good taste and nutrition.
