Diabetes Medical Nutrition Therapy: Current Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines for Adults with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
The evidence is in! People with diabetes can significantly reduce their risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and even blindness with diabetes medical nutrition therapy (MNT). Numerous studies have proven that MNT can prevent, slow the onset of and/or decrease the progression of these devastating complications. Although there are numerous strategies that can be used to achieve these goals, best practice dictates the use of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ evidence based nutrition practice guidelines (NPGs) and the MNT protocols for diabetes. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) also recommends the use of these NPGs in its statutory language of the Medicare diabetes MNT benefit.
In this workshop, I am going to condense and simplify the voluminous content of these NPGs into a “ready reference” take home guide so that even new practitioners in the audience can feel comfortable using them in practice the very next day! Not only will I review the latest nutrition guidelines to normalize A1c, but also the latest guidelines to normalize blood pressure and blood lipids in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
You may or may not have heard this, but adults learn better when they’re having fun! So, as always, I will “edu-tain” you all during this presentation! Adults also learn best when “3D” teaching aids are used. So, yes, I will be showing you my many ‘homemade’ 3D objects that you can make yourself! Then, you, too, can “edu-tain” your patients on the latest and greatest diabetes NPGs.
