How to use Motivational Interviewing with Mindful Eating

Diabetes care is becoming more and more divisive. Here are a few typical "shoulds" on social media that fail to come alongside our clients. For example, instead of reinforcing the binary view that there are good and bad foods, you want to use MI and come alongside by asking: What foods impact your blood sugars the most? Instead of reinforcing diabetes shame by saying there are foods you should eat if you have diabetes. You want to use MI and come alongside by reflecting the client's deeper intention, which might be: You want to learn if there are foods that can stabilize blood glucose.

  • Dietitians, Diet Technicians

Health Inequity? 

The truth is most professionals are unaware of how fatphobia and health inequity are connected. It is a complex pathway that has received very little attention.

By enrolling in the IDC free Connecting the Dots course you will be guided through some key concepts that we hope will create awareness and open up this dialog about how we can promote health equity in diabetes care.

This course isn’t presented in a binary way, where there is a right or a wrong answer. The goal of this course and all the programs at Inclusive Diabetes Care is for dialog, insight, and to support our professional growth to support all bodies in diabetes care.

This Course is 100% FREE
