A ‘Healthy for People with Diabetes’ seal in the US? There’s one!
I am not kidding! There REALLY is a “Healthy for People with Diabetes” seal for people with that the American Diabetes Association recently put out there.
The Better Choices for Life program brings the American Diabetes Association®’s evidence-based guidelines and perspective directly to you in the store, so you have what you need to make informed choices about the products you purchase.
The challenge is that there’s still relatively few products that have gone through the ADA vetting process outlined here. So it’s not as useful as it could be for those of us living with diabetes in the US.
So this short post has two goals:
Raise awareness about the Better Choices for Life program from ADA;
Encourage you to contact your favorite food companies, and tell them about it.
The more products sport this seal, the more people with diabetes can make more informed decisions while we are grocery shopping.
Full Disclosure: I am currently serving as Chair of the Northern California Leadership Board for American Diabetes Association. This is a volunteer role, for which I get no compensation.
