Reflection on working with diabetes dietitian clinic

Whilst on my placement, I got an opportunity for an outreach with diabetes dietitian clinic. I got a chance to learn how they usually work and help patient to improve their knowledge and confidence in managing their diabetes. Diabetes dietitian helps the patients to know how their diet affects their diabetes and consider the options available for them so that the patient can make a plan and changes to achieve the goal to improve the diabetes.

Also provide the leaflet to the patient that has informations about the diet how to live well with the diabetes and control it. Provide patient education about how important the role of diet, exercise, weight loss for diabetes patient. I also learn how diabetes can affects your kidney and can lead to heart problems. Healthy balance meal, regular exercise helps to control diabetes and keep kidney healthy.
