Welcome back to another episode of the Diabetes Digital podcast. We are so excited to have one of our colleagues on Janice Data, who is a weight inclusive R.D. registered dietitian with the private practice in Newport Beach, California. She's an intuitive eating counselor, certified diabetes care and education specialist, and certified eating disorder specialists.

She's passionate about simplifying and desigmatizing the nutrition and weight-based discourse around diabetes.

We're also going to talk about ways to recognize how diet culture can show up in care and why

shifting away from a shame-based approach is really important and how it's possible to support your blood sugar while
