In this month’s edition of the Diabetes Coalition of York’s Monthly Monitor, we have several important updates and resources:

Research Insight: Scientists in China report reprogramming fat cells to produce insulin — a remarkable step that allowed a person with type 1 diabetes to become insulin‑independent in an early case report.
Advocacy Efforts: The American Diabetes Association continues to advocate for federal funding and policies that improve access to diabetes care and research.
Educational Opportunities:

• Register now for the Diabetes Expo and other local events.
• YMCA offerings: Healthy Mind/Healthy Aging classes and a 12‑week LIVESTRONG program for people living with and surviving cancer.
• Local resource events (Area Agency on Aging) and classes to help prevent progression from prediabetes.
  Back‑to‑School & Resources: Guidance and links for keeping students with Type 1 diabetes safe at school, plus a growing library of short video resources on diabetes on the Coalition website.
  Recipe & Practical Tips: A diabetic‑friendly Cheesy Baked Zucchini Casserole recipe, plus blog posts with travel tips and practical advice (e.g., “Vacationing with Diabetes” and “Vacation Location Matters”).
  Men’s Health: A featured article highlights men’s health disparities and the importance of preventive care and diabetes awareness for men.
