Diabetes Supermarket Tour Guide

Expand your business with this new Supermarket Tour Guide that provides specific information for people with diabetes. The Guide starts with marketing tips and general tips for working with the supermarket, setting-up the tour and customization ideas especially for parents of children with diabetes.

The Guide was developed with the assistance of Melissa Herrmann Dierks RD, LDN, CDE a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator with over 20 years of experience in the field of nutrition and dietetics including conducting supermarket tours in North Carolina.

Included are 8 modules that cover specific sections of the supermarket that are concerns for diabetes—Produce, Bread, Canned & Dried Fruit, Rice & Pasta, Cereal & Breakfast Bars, Dairy, Snacks & Crackers, and Frozen Foods. Each module has 3 learning objectives with corresponding activities and anticipated questions and answers. Also included are 10 copy-ready Tip Sheets and Comparison Charts--
