September 2020 Edition
 

The T2G Talk & Taste is back for our fifth and final T2G National Day of Action! The past two years we’ve asked you to assemble your diabetes teams and discuss best practices in diabetes care over a healthy meal. On Nov. 5, we’re encouraging you to gather for a final, celebratory T2G Talk & Taste. This year, we ask that your team comes together to watch a special T2G highlights video and celebrate your accomplishments throughout the campaign. We provide all the supporting materials in our downloadable T2G Talk & Taste kit, which can be tailored to both virtual and in-person events. The kit includes:

  • Participation guide
  • Annotated PowerPoint presentation (includes discussion guide)
  • T2G highlights video – This video will be available on our website on Nov. 1
  • Staff invitation template
  • Certificate template (for staff recognition)

If you can’t hold your T2G Talk & Taste on Nov. 5, then aim for any other day that week! Consult with your diabetes team to determine if your event should be in-person or virtual, then let us know when your team plans to participate — RSVP with your name, organization name, and T2G Talk & Taste event information. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating this year!

Please note that this survey is intended to collect feedback from T2G campaign participants only.

The most recent episode, Evolving Care with COVID-19 for T2D Patients: Management, Telemedicine and Lessons Learned, focuses on recently broadened access to Medicare telehealth services so that beneficiaries can receive a wider range of health care services while at home.
