Recorded Webinar: The Path to Understanding Diabetes Care & Management in Communities of Color
This webinar took place on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, from 2-3 p.m. ET.
Healthy eating behaviors are a gold standard when it comes to improving glycemic outcomes in diabetes care and management. The RD is adept at providing the latest evidence-based knowledge in food and nutrition for clients living with diabetes who desire to improve their glycemic outcomes. But what happens when evidence-based knowledge and lived experiences clash? How then, does the dietitian assist their clients in reaching their health and lifestyle goals?
Join Kimberley Rose-Francis RDN, CDCES, CNSC, LD, for a webinar worth 1.0 CDR-approved ethics CEU* that discusses how lived experiences can have the greatest impact on blood sugar management and clarifies the path dietitians can take to help their clients meet their goals.
