Nutrition / Dietitian Update - March 13, 2019

Hi Nutrition/Dietitian Contacts,

Hi All,

I've cleaned up our contact list (pdf). Thanks for the input provided and I look forward to receiving any other changes or corrections. If someone else in your organization should be added in addition to you, please let me know that too.
If you missed, or will miss any of the DDTP nutritionally focused webinars this month, you'll find them a few weeks later at: https://www.ihs.gov/diabetes/training/cmece-online-edu/recorded-cme-ce-webinars/
Food, Planet, Health - Summary of the EAT Lancet Commission (pdf) has some helpful information and visuals. It may help you in showing how those in the know are headed in regards to healthy diet recommendations, help you see where our dietary guidelines may be headed at some point in time, and assist you countering fad or trending diets.
Repeat Info: The annual California Medical Best Practices Conference will take place in Sacramento at the Holiday Inn Downtown May 20-22, 2019, followed by California Diabetes Day May 23, 2019.
