EDITOR’S

NOTE

Get grilling!

I

am an avid griller. With the exception of a few snow

days here in New England, I am armed with grill tools,

marinades and BBQ-inspired recipes 12 months a year.

Some of my family favorites include grilled swordfish and

tuna steaks—each gently seasoned with olive oil, lemon,

black pepper and salt; steak, chicken and pork also rank

among our top mealtime choices.

But grilling doesn’t only apply to the main course. In

this issue of Diabetes Self-Management, Food Editor Amy

Campbell, MS, RD, LDN, CDE, handpicks nearly two-

dozen grilled veggie, main dish and fruit recipes and

shares healthy grilling tips. Adding a bit of spice to the

editorial lineup, nutrition and diabetes expert Lea Ann

Holzmeister, RD, CDE, discusses a variety of ways to season

and tenderize and offers nutritional information around

some of the most popular marinades.

Beyond barbecuing, our editorial team covers a wealth

of topics related to diabetes medications (generic insulin

and metformin), alternative and complimentary therapies,

and exercise. To get a sense of where we are today and the

future of diabetes care, contributor Quinn Phillips interviews

experts from Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine and

Massachusetts General Hospital, and discusses continuous

glucose monitors, T2D medications and much more.

With each issue, we strive to spotlight a diabetes champion

and the May/June issue is on point. Celebrity chef and

diabetes advocate Charles Mattocks shares his personal

journey with Type 2 diabetes, his quest to increase awareness,

and mission to transform the lives of others via his diabetes

reality television show, “Reversed.”

Our coverage doesn’t end there. Throughout these

pages, you will also find diabetes news and updates, product

information, ways to jumpstart your workout plan and

more. Read on and as always, my hope is you will learn

something new, find inspiration and share your learnings

with others.

Best,

Maureen McCarthy
