November brings National Diabetes Month and Thanksgiving, two big reasons to talk about balanced plates. Here are free handouts, recipes and teaching ideas for the month.
What to teach in November
Diabetes Month. The plate method, carb counting and a simple meal-order tip.
A balanced Thanksgiving. Fill half the plate with vegetables and fruit, then enjoy the favorites.
Budget holiday meals. Plan the menu, shop from a list and use leftovers.
Gratitude and movement. A family walk after the big meal is a tradition worth starting.
