Lifestyle Series: Mastering Diabetes: Nutrition, Weight Loss, and Wellness Strategies

Diabetes and obesity are two conditions that impact women globally.

Obesity is a risk factor for developing diabetes, and individuals with diabetes often struggle with weight loss. 

Today, weight loss interventions are a cornerstone in diabetes management since modest weight loss can drastically improve blood glucose levels. 

This workshop caters to women seeking diverse approaches, including culturally specific meal planning basics, nutrient-dense versus calorie-dense foods, and substituting ingredients for calorie control without forgoing taste. 

It will be led by Connie Brown Riggs, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist who is an expert in weight management and diabetes. She will discuss some of the challenges and barriers associated with implementing a weight loss program and offer tips and strategies to stay the course.

This workshop is open to women with diabetes and those at risk and will be an opportunity to get your questions answered and hear from other women with the same experiences.

Key Takeaways:

1. Understand the impact that obesity has on diabetes and blood glucose management.
