Join Dietitian and Diabetes Educator Nancy Ryan, MS, RD, BC-ADM, CDCES, CD-N, Inpatient Diabetes Coordinator, Greenwich Hospital, for “Diabetes: Getting to Goal with Our Fork and Our Feet,” on Wednesday, November 15 at 7 pm, in the Youth Services Program Room, Radcliffe Children’s Library, Perrot Memorial Library.
Diabetes can feel overwhelming, whether the diagnosis is new or long-term. We will discuss recommended goals to manage diabetes and tools to help us reach our goals. Two powerful tools include our food choices and physical activity. We will talk about strategies to set us up for success during our diabetes journey toward our personal goals.
Nancy Ryan is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) and is Board Certified in Advanced Diabetes Management (BC-ADM).
