Posted on: Friday, 17 November 2006, 18:00 CST
NEW YORK, November 17 /PRNewswire/ -- THIS NEWS SEGMENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY NUTRITION 21. PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MAY NOT ANTICIPATE THE HOLIDAYS AS JOYFULLY AS THE REST OF US. IN A NEW SURVEY COMMISSIONED BY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF DIABETES EDUCATORS, NEARLY 1,400 AMERICANS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES IDENTIFIED SEVERAL EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS FOR STRESS THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS HEALTH CONSEQUENCES. ONLY HALF OF RESPONDENTS SAID THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TAKE THEIR DIABETES INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN PLANNING HOLIDAY MEALS, WHILE 44 PERCENT SAID THEIR LOVED ONES MONITOR WHAT THEY EAT.
PEOPLE WITH DIABETES CAN CALL A TOLL-FREE HOTLINE, 1-877-PICK-330, TO SPEAK WITH A DIABETES EDUCATOR FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT.
CLINICAL DIABETES EDUCATOR JANIS ROSZLER:
"The toll-free hotline provides callers with a personalized roadmap for managing their diabetes. By calling, people will learn that small changes - like supplementing with Diachrome, a non-prescription nutritional therapy, that can help maintain blood sugar and cholesterol control - can make a big difference in their diabetes management."
