Nutritional Counseling for Diabetes Patients - What You Need to Know


Listen Later

Diabetes might be one of the most challenging chronic conditions to manage. It definitely requires a lot of partnership between provider and patient; you may find yourself spending more time with your diabetic patient than any other group of patients in your practice.


We talked with Nurse Practitioner and Registered Dietitian, Meghan Kavanaugh, about her work with diabetic patients. The interview was such a hit that we brought her back again to answer all of your questions about the nutritional aspects of helping your patients with diabetes. This week, we get answers to your questions, and more, including:


  • Where to start with nutritional counseling for diabetic patients
  • How motivational interviewing can help with nutrition counseling
  • Realistic strategies that patients can start using as soon as they leave your visit
  • The importance of understanding the patient’s lifestyle in order to optimize their diabetes management


Diabetes can be a tough condition to manage; nutrition is at the foundation of good management, but not all patients have the same experience when it comes to food. Patients that travel, patients that have limited access to certain foods, patients who have religious reasons for eating or not eating certain foods, patients who simply have preferences for certain foods over others – all of these things must be kept in mind as we create strategies to help our patients manage their diet and their diabetes.
