Weight Loss and Diabetes - Diabetes and ME
diabetesandmindfuleating.com — “By Megrette Fletcher M.Ed., RD CDE A nurse-colleague told me about her recent diabetes diagnosis. Then she added, “So I decided that I am going to lose 50 pounds.” I could see the excitement in her face switch to a sense of worry in her eyes the moment she asked me, “Do you think that is a good idea?” Many clients ask that same question. Is losing weight the goal of diabetes self-management? No. You may be thinking, “But I was told by my physicians to lose weight to control my diabetes.” The fac” View full resource at diabetesandmindfuleating.com

diabetesandmindfuleating.com — “By Megrette Fletcher M.Ed, RD, CDE Co-Author of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes It had been about a year since I last saw Richard. He came into our session as would any friend I hadn’t seen in a while. Light chatter filled the air as I gathered the necessary information about medications and blood pressure. When this was finished, I settled into my seat and listened to Richard tell me of his life. “I don’t know why I stopped,” he began. “I was doing great last year and then, I” View full resource at diabetesandmindfuleating.com

Sensuous Eating: Eating with Beginner's Mind - Diabetes and ME
diabetesandmindfuleating.com — “My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with a two week trip through Italy.

Fearless Blood Sugar Monitoring: How to do a blood sugar log - Diabetes and ME
diabetesandmindfuleating.com — “Megrette Fletcher, M.Ed., R.D., CDE, and Michelle May, M.D. Your Hemoglobin A1C test is like a 3-month report card for diabetes. It helps both you and your healthcare provider know how your overall diabetes self-management is going. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do much more than that. Most importantly, it doesn’t tell you what is or isn’t working. Often, people don’t think of checking their blood as a learning opportunity. Instead they say, “I don’t want to know” or “I ate too much so I already kno” View full resource at diabetesandmindfuleating.com

One evening he made a note that he “ate really bad stuff.” This was followed by a comment on the morning blood glucose reading: “Remember… I ate really bad stuff last night.” I cannot stress how helpful blood glucose logs are. They piece together three types of information: medication, diet, and activity. Blood glucose logs offer objective information about how these thre” View full resource at diabetesandmindfuleating.com

Let’s look at why restrictive diets aren’t the answer for most people.

Mindful Eating and Hunger When You’re On Medications for Diabetes - Diabetes and ME
diabetesandmindfuleating.com — “By Megrette Fletcher, M.Ed., R.D., C.D.E. and Michelle May, M.D. The purpose of mindful eating is to become aware of your own personal experience. Tuning into your body, noticing how it changes, learning how hunger feels, and becoming aware of which foods satisfy your hunger best are all part of mindful eating. You can build on this awareness by recognizing changes in your blood sugar, learning how your diabetes medications can influence your blood sugars, and becoming more attuned to what that ” View full resource at diabetesandmindfuleating.com

Some might think mindful eating is simply paying more attention to what, when, or how much you eat. For others, mindful eating means slowing down, chewing your food more slowly, and really trying to savor the bite in your mouth. Mindful eating can be all of this and much more.
