Level 5 | Weight-Inclusive Diabetes Care: Turning Compassion into Practical Tools

Level 5 | Weight-Inclusive Diabetes Care: Turning Compassion into Practical Tools

2025 webinar available upon registration

Transform your diabetes practice with weight-inclusive, HAES®-aligned strategies that reduce stigma and improve individual outcomes.

Weight stigma is a well-documented barrier to effective diabetes care — contributing to poorer glycemic control, disordered eating, and care avoidance. This course provides healthcare providers with actionable strategies to integrate weight-inclusive care into diabetes management, focusing on improving outcomes through respect for body diversity and individual autonomy. By shifting from a weight-focused approach to one aligned with Health at Every Size (HAES®), providers can foster trust, enhance engagement, and support sustainable health behaviors.

Jessica Jones, MS, RDN, CDCES, shares evidence-based insights on mitigating weight stigma and applying HAES®-aligned strategies in practice. You'll learn how to build rapport, set realistic nutrition goals, and implement interventions that prioritize blood glucose management, joyful movement, and intuitive eating.
