Video Interview: The Diabetes-Cancer Connection & Why It Matters

Type 2 diabetes and cancer share several points of intersection.  This is a very active area of research, yet it’s off the radar screen of many among the public and even health professionals.  I wrote about the Diabetes-Cancer Connection here on Smart Bytes® a few months ago.  For those of you who prefer a video that provides the bottom line, here you go, courtesy of PRESENT Diabetes.

For the message in a nutshell about the Diabetes-Cancer Connection:  What it means, Why it matters,  click here. This is a video interview I did with diabetes expert Hope Warshaw, MMSc, RD, CDE, following my presentation earlier this month at the annual meeting of the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE).

Let’s talk:  Next week, I’ll be speaking at the annual meeting of the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation on a related topic — the intersection of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.  Please share your comments and questions below for discussion here and for me to address when I speak to the AACVPR participants.

I Take Nutrition Science From Daunting to Doable.™

As a registered dietitian nutritionist, one of the most frequent complaints I hear from people — including health professionals — is that they are overwhelmed by the volume of sometimes-conflicting nutrition information.

I believe that when you turn nutrition from daunting to doable, you can transform people's lives.

Accurately translating nutrition science takes training, time and practice. Dietitians have the essential training and knowledge, but there’s only so much time in a day. I delight in helping them conquer “nutrition overwhelm” so they can feel capable and confident as they help others thrive.

I'm a speaker, writer, and nutrition consultant ... and I welcome you to share or comment on posts as part of this community!
