March 24, 2015 was Diabetes Alert Day and the Registered Dietitians at Evangelical Homes of Sterling Heights took the opportunity to coach residents and team members on what the day was all about. Diabetes Alert Day, according to National Diabetes Education Program, is a one-day 'wake-up' call to encourage people to take action to learn about family health history and your risk for type 2 diabetes. Dana Lutz, RD and Janice Fero, RD encouraged participants to take the Diabetes Risk Test and share results with their physician. Janice engaged participants in conversation regarding common myths associated with type 2 diabetes.
Meanwhile on center stage, Bruce Bilbrey prepared a delicious National Nutrition Month recipe, Fish Tacos, for participants to enjoy. The aroma was received around the building, attracting more team members and residents as the session progressed. Bruce explained the healthy oils he incorporated into the recipe along with healthy cooking tips.
