Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating for Diabetes Online Class

with Michelle May, M.D. and Megrette Fletcher, MEd, RD, CDCES

Have you been diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes?

Does managing your condition feel like an endless diet instead of a flexible, enjoyable, healthy lifestyle? Does your schedule, lifestyle, or location make it difficult for you to participate in diabetes education? Are you (way!) overdue for a diabetes management tune-up? Do you prefer to learn at your own pace in a setting that is familiar and comfortable?

With this complete self-paced online program, you will learn how to manage your diabetes mindfully without rigid meal plans or punishing exercise.

Put your SELF Back Into Diabetes Self-Management!

We get it. A diagnosis of prediabetes or diabetes can feel like a life sentence. It is natural to feel overwhelmed with everything you need to do to manage your condition: make sustainable changes to your eating and physical activity, monitor your blood sugar levels, prevent complications, and more…

But we have great news! Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating for Prediabetes and Diabetes is a practical mind-body approach that shifts the focus from rigid nutrition rules and strict exercise regimens to awareness of your physical sensations, thoughts, feelings, habits, and beliefs. You will learn how to become the expert in YOU!

How do you know if mindful eating for diabetes is right for you?

  • You want to get your A1C down – and keep it down! (Or maybe you want to understand why that even matters!)
  • You want managing your diabetes to feel flexible, enjoyable, and personalized for your personal lifestyle.
  • You want to find a diabetes meal plan that’s easy to stick with – and doesn’t make you swear off your favorite foods. (We’ll show you how to eat what you love AND keep your diabetes under control!)
  • You want to change how you feel about exercise, so it is a “get to” instead of a “have to.”
  • You want a fun, credible way to update your understanding of diabetes so it finally makes sense (AND is taught by experts – a physician and diabetes educator!).
  • You like learning at your own pace in a setting that is familiar and comfortable and fits into your schedule.
  • You are excited to finally get back on track and feel in charge of your diabetes!

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then read on!
