Let's set some SMART goals for 2026!

A SMART goal is a way to set clear, realistic and achievable goals. In diabetes management, SMART goals help people make manageable changes that improve blood glucose control and overall health.
SMART goals can break diabetes care into small, actionable steps rather than overwhelming changes. They can focus on areas such as blood glucose monitoring, nutrition, physical activity, medication adherence, or stress management.

Here's an example of a SMART goal:
"I will walk for 15 minutes after dinner, 5 days a week, for the next 4 weeks to help improve my blood sugar levels"

A Smart goal calendar can be found at this link:

Have you ever attended a sharing circle?
A sharing circle is a traditional indigenous practice that creates a safe and respectful space for open communication.
One of our Elders helped us to offer a diabetes sharing circle earlier this month. In this safe space we shared stories, tears and laughs together. All while learning about diabetes.

If you or a loved one is looking for diabetes education and social connections, we would love to have you join next time 🙂 Stay tuned for dates in the new year.

We made some sweet treats with a healthy spin last week during our cooking class; brownies made with black beans, chocolate mousse made with tofu and cookies made with Splenda! Recipes in the comment section below.

We were also treated to some traditional fry bread and scone dogs from one of our Elders 🤗🤤
