National Diabetes Month Observed In November
Small Changes Can Prevent Diabetes and Its Complications – Rethink Your Drink
BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Department of Health is encouraging everyone to “rethink your drink” during National Diabetes Month observed in November. Diabetes affects nearly 26 million Americans and an estimated 79 million people are at risk for developing the disease. In North Dakota, diabetes affects more than 37,000 people.
The North Dakota Department of Health’s Diabetes Prevention and Control Program wants to help North Dakotans better understand how to make the necessary changes in their day-to-day life in order to prevent type 2 diabetes, manage their diabetes to prevent complications, and live healthier lives.
“Small changes over time can have a big impact,” said Tera Miller, Diabetes Prevention and Control Program director. “We urge everyone to rethink what you drink. It’s important to remember that what we drink is as important as what we eat.”
Many beverages contain added sugar and offer little or no nutrients, while others may provide nutrients but too much fat and too many calories. Make better beverage choices by following these tips:
Choose water, diet, or low-calorie beverages instead of sugar-sweetened beverages.
Carry a water bottle around and refill throughout the day for a quick, easy and cheap thirst-quencher.
Keep a jug or bottles of cold water in the fridge versus sugary beverages.
Serve water with meals.
Make water exciting by adding a slice of lemon, lime, cucumber or watermelon, a sprig of mint, or drink sparkling water.
Add a splash of 100% juice to plain sparkling water for a refreshing, low-calorie drink.
Choose the smallest size possible when splurging for a sugary beverage.
Choose low-fat (skim) milk instead of whole milk.
Be a role model by choosing healthy, low-calorie beverages.
Follow these tips to reduce the calories in your coffee shop drink:
Request fat-free (skim) milk instead of whole milk.
Order the smallest size available.
Skip the extra flavoring used in coffee shops, like vanilla or hazelnut.
Skip the whip.
Get back to basics and order a plain cup of coffee with fat-free milk and a touch of sugar, or drink it black.
