Diabetes Core Group

Thank You Miracle Temple COGIC for allowing Diabetes CORE to be a part of your Community Resource Fair here in Myrtle Beach

Mental Health and Diabetes are more connected than many people realize.

Managing diabetes can be stressful, overwhelming, and emotionally exhausting at times. That's why it's important to care for your mental health just as much as your physical health.

Today on Mental Health Awareness Day, remember: it's okay to ask for help, take a break, and give yourself grace.

Please don't forget to stop by the Louis Gregory Bahai Institute for "Unity Day"!

Come out and enjoy free entertainment, valuable information, and delicious food.

We look forward to seeing you there!

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to do what I love at DP Cooper School in Salters-educating the community about diabetes and healthy living. It is always a blessing to share information that can help change lives.

I would like to thank one of our new board members Muryel Mdm Sumpter for coming out to the Palmetto Giving Day celebration and winning $1500 in Plinko

We are grateful for YOU!
Your support during Palmetto Giving Day helps us continue the legacy of serving our community and empowering those affected by diabetes in Georgetown County.

Thank you for standing with CORE! 💙

Happy Saturday!!! The scholarship closes in exactly 8️⃣ days!! We continue to encourage our high school seniors and college students from Georgetown county to apply!

Tomorrow is the Day to Support Diabetes CORE Group

A “pre-diabetic friendly” recipe should be low in added sugar, balanced in carbs, high in fiber, and include lean protein so it doesn’t spike blood sugar. One simple, post-worthy option is:

🥗 Grilled Chicken & Avocado Power Bowl
6
Ingredients:
1 grilled chicken breast (seasoned lightly)
1 cup leafy greens (spinach or kale)
½ avocado (sliced)
½ cup cooked quinoa (or brown rice)
½ cup cherry tomatoes
¼ cup cucumbers
1 tbsp olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste)
Instructions:
Grill or pan-cook the chicken until done, then slice.
Add greens to a bowl as your base.
Layer quinoa, veggies, and avocado on top.
Add sliced chicken.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season lightly.
Why it works for pre-diabetes:
Balanced carbs (quinoa instead of white rice)
Healthy fats (avocado + olive oil)
High protein (chicken helps stabilize blood sugar)
Fiber-rich veggies slow glucose spikes
