Non-Diet Diabetes Support Group
Our fall series is full. Please contact us if you are interested in joining our next series!
|
We are thrilled to offer a weight-neutral and intuitive-eating based support group for individuals with diabetes, pre-diabetes, or insulin-resistant PCOS!
Are you struggling to maintain or build intuitive eating skills when most recommendations support weight loss and restriction? Does pursuing a Health At Every Size (HAES) and intuitive eating approach feel like you are swimming against the tide of popular health and wellness advice? We are here to support you in this journey! The group is facilitated by Jamie Clayton, MS, RDN, CDCES and Geanna Revell, MS, RDN, both of whom are Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and experts in diabetes nutrition. |

WHEN & HOW
The group will meet Tuesday evenings from 5:30-6:30pm starting 9/10/24 and ending on 11/12/24 (10 weeks).
All sessions will be via video meeting and we’re invested in creating a warm and supportive environment where you can feel safe and comfortable sharing and learning with and from others.
WHO
The group will be relatively small with just 4-8 adult members who have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or insulin-resistant PCOS, and are interested in exploring an Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size (HAES) approach to their blood sugar management.
To best support all members and to ensure a safe community space, we are asking that everyone first complete an initial nutrition assessment at Dandelion. Please contact us ASAP if you need to schedule this prior to starting the group.
GROUP FOCUS
Each session will have a loose topic/ focus and plenty of open conversation. We will discuss, investigate and help navigate the feelings that arise with a diagnosis; how prevailing advice (from medical providers and well-meaning friends and family alike) stacks up against the actual evidence; and how intuitive eating can be a path towards kinder, gentler and more sustained blood sugar management.
Some of the topics we’ll be covering:
COST: $330
The series fee covers all 10 sessions and is not covered by health insurance. No refunds will be issued for missed sessions.
