Advanced practice dietitian Amy Hess Fischl MS, RD, LDN, BC-ADM, CDE joined The Huddle to talk about the various food factors that can impact glucose levels, how to help people with diabetes address and understand the factors that impact them most, and how people with diabetes may adjust their insulin doses based on these various factors.

This podcast is being produced in collaboration with JDRF. JDRF works to improve the lives of individuals living with T1D by providing meaningful educational resources for health care professionals and community members.

Addressing the inequities that exist in diabetes care relies on each and every one of us in the diabetes space. On this episode of The Huddle, we spoke with Dr. Osagie Ebekozien, Chief Medical Officer at the T1D Exchange and award-winning researcher. Dr. Ebekozien talked about T1D Exchange’s Health Equity Advancement Lab (HEAL) and it’s work in advancing health equity for underserved populations. He also outlines actionable steps, no matter how big or small, that DCES across the country can take to advance this work in their practices.

Please note, this podcast was originally recorded in 2023, and host Sacha Uelmen has since moved on from ADCES to pursue another professional opportunity.
