It's February! You know what that means -- Groundhog Day and Valentine's Day! If the groundhog sees his shadow, we will have six more weeks of winter weather. Let's hope he does not see his shadow. Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate our relationships with friends and loved ones. This day is usually associated with flowers and candy. As we move toward a goal of improved health and wellness, consider celebrating this day with some healthy alternatives. (Or, at the very least, use moderation when indulging in sweets!)

Related to sweets, we have information on diabetes awareness and management in this month's edition of Prevention 101. The information included will help those coping with this disease to better manage it -- and those who aren't affected by diabetes to better avoid it. MyHealthMedia provides a coaching session for the management of diabetes as well. To use MyHealthMedia, visit www.highmarkbcbs.com, log in, and click on Your Health. Then, click on Improve Your Health. Click on Manage a Health Condition and then click on Manage Diabetes.
 

"Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end." -- Author Unknown.
