These webinars are facilitated by Michelle May, M.D. and Megrette Fletcher MEd, RD, CDE, the co-creators of the Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating for Diabetes Program, a practical mind-body approach that shifts the focus from rigid nutrition rules and strict exercise regimens to awareness of beliefs, habits, thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. In this program, facilitators guide their participants through the process of learning how to listen to and understand their “inner expert” to put them in charge of their eating and health decisions. This webinar series includes an introduction and six 90-minute group sessions that incorporate the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors™: Healthy eating, Being active, Glucose monitoring, Using medication, Problem solving, Reducing risks, Healthy coping.

The second webinar series in this facilitator training is a seven week series of one-hour webinars for health professionals. These focus on the concepts, content, and delivery of this comprehensive mindful eating for diabetes program.
