Part 2 of our interviews with Jenn Jackson! Feel free to listen to this episode as a stand alone, but if you're wanting to hear more from Jenn, go back to our previous episode to hear more.
In this episode we cover:
- Diabetes management philosophies and technology that can be the most disordered to the most flexible
- Why restriction is not a good idea with diabetes
- Protein! What it does and why it's helpful
- Living with a stigmatized condition as a health care provider
- Using nutrition along with meds to get the best support
- Being OK with not knowing the exact right answer (as a diabetes "expert" and as a person with diabetes)
- How a sense of urgency is normalized in diabetes care and diet culture, and how to slow down the instinct and get to authentic choice and care
- Using informed consent, self compassion, and professional support as part of your diabetes strategy.
We mention several resources including:
- https://self-compassion.org/
- Medical Students for Size Inclusivity document on Informed consent in diabetes care https://sizeinclusivemedicine.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/MSSI-GLP1-Informed-Consent-10.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawF_wppleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHenysmN_XwqFeZMt9ebBott-LiEtkfYmuQ0OFqhStsg_jg-hqp6C6rQYoA_aem_TYSGtVGOSiXoeCLemhas3A
