Keeping It 100 Radio: Uncensored Diabetes Conversations

Ep 45: Yes I Can Eat That - Making Dessert Work with Diabetes with Mary Ellen Phipps

Listen Later

Ever believe that living with diabetes means sacrificing the foods (and desserts) you love? When I was first diagnosed with type one diabetes, I thought that meant sweets and treats were off limits - a common stigma among the community.

Inside this episode, I’m sitting down with Mary Ellen Phipps, MPH, RDN, LD. Mary Ellen is the cookbook author and registered dietitian behind milkandhoneynutrition.com. and, she's been living with type 1 diabetes since she was 5 years old.

Inside the conversation, we chat all about Mary Ellen’s journey, how she makes dessert work for her and her clients and how you can make it work for you to.
