How Diet Culture Makes Diabetes Harder | Intuitive Eating for Blood Sugar with Janice Dada
In this episode of the Diabetes Digital Podcast, we’re diving into how diet culture shows up in diabetes care—and how it can actually make things harder, not easier.
We’re joined by Janice Dada, a weight-inclusive diabetes expert, Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD), and author of the upcoming book Intuitive Eating for Diabetes: The No Shame, No Blame, Non-Diet Approach to Managing Your Blood Sugar.
Janice breaks down the harm of food fear, rigid nutrition rules, and weight-focused care—and how they can lead to disordered eating and disrupt blood sugar management. We explore how to recognize diet culture in care settings, why shame-based approaches don’t work, and what it really means to support blood sugar and body respect at the same time.
Whether you live with diabetes or work in diabetes care, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and a refreshing non-diet perspective.
