Thriving with Diabetes: Applying Eating Competence to Diabetes Care

A webinar for professionals by Mindy Ellsworth, RDN, LD, CDCES

Adults diagnosed with diabetes may feel pressured to make drastic changes to their eating habits in order to manage their blood sugar levels. The result might be high levels of dissatisfaction with what they are now eating. These patients will benefit from learning how to become competent eaters; to be positive, comfortable, and flexible with eating as well as matter-of-fact and reliable about getting enough to eat of personally enjoyable, nourishing food. Designed for health professionals, this webinar will explore how the Satter eating competence model can be integrated into diabetes education. The webinar will discuss the foundational capacities of eating competence and explore how the Satter Food Hierarchy can be applied to nutrition approaches for persons with diabetes. Learn how to integrate eating competence-consistent approaches in your practice and support your clients with diabetes in developing eating strategies that reduce anxiety-provoking meals and promote nourishing and joyful eating.
