About This Course
This groundbreaking book, which uses Motivational Interviewing (MI) as its counseling foundation, embraces the newest research in diabetes and obesity: change happens when we release the client and ourselves from numbers on a scale and ‘you must do’s’. Megrette’s creative genius shines through in every aspect of this course, from the clarity of the language to the humor of the examples and the extensive counseling dialogue you can immediately apply to your counseling sessions.
Features:
- An effective weight-neutral MI-based counseling framework when working with diabetes clients–plus practical tips for using it today!
- Over 20 innovative diabetes-oriented activities to use with clients–with handouts included! Learn to use The Insulin Knife, The Liver Sponge, the Blood Sugar Rocket, “What About Weight?”, and many more with your clients
- Each activity includes specific counseling dialogue, learning objectives, tips, and visuals, so you’ll feel confident and knowledgeable using each one!
- Why weight-neutral diabetes counseling? Understanding the rationale behind this simple yet profound approach and how to convey it to your clients
- Special sections on binge eating disorders and diabetes (which are increasingly prevalent), and how to help your clients
We all know that diets don’t work. So why are we putting our diabetes clients on them? This course will help you break free of the weight-oriented mentality for diabetes control and free your clients to focus on wellness and healthy habits. Weight Neutral Diabetes Counseling and Education Activities: Helping Clients Without Harping on Weight CE course will help you focus on wellness and healthy habits with your clients while strengthening your counseling skills.

I love that it is not focused on weight loss, but instead focused on better health and those outcomes instead.
Disha Gandhi, MS, RD, CDCES, Pittsburgh PA –
This program has finally answered all of my questions on how to use intuitive eating/HAES on people with diabetes. I am a huge proponent of intuitive eating, and I have been struggling with using it with people who have diabetes.
