Risks of Unmanaged Diabetes & Create Your Plate

Yumlish: Diabetes and Multicultural Nutrition

Registered Dietitian Toby Amidor talks to us about the risk of unmanaged diabetes, nutrition strategies that she's found helpful and most useful to assist individuals in managing their diabetes, and the Create Your Plate model and how it can be adapted for cuisines of different cultures.

With over 20 years of experience in the Food and Nutrition industry, Toby Amidor is a Wall Street Journal best selling cookbook author, leading dieticians, spokesperson and recipe developer who believes that healthy and wholesome can also be appetizing and delicious.

"One of the things I really recommend is to have a team available specifically, not just your physician because they don't have time to really go through the food, but really get into the nitty gritty of the diet with a registered dietician. And there are certified diabetes educators who are also directly registered dieticians and there are many across the country a lot take insurance."
