Diabetes Matters: Podcast 2: Nutrition Matters

“What do I eat?” is one of the most common questions asked by people living with diabetes. Eating healthy is a powerful tool in managing all types of diabetes but knowing what to eat and when can be challenging.

In today’s episode we are joined by two wonderful guests who know a thing or two about eating well with diabetes.
