The Dietitianist

Hey everyone! My name is Joanne and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a Certified Diabetes Educator. I have over 30 years of experience in nutrition and diabetes. My children are finally grown (woo hoo!) and I've started a blog! My blog has a large helping of nutritional information, loaded with ideas for successfully managing diabetes and weight. There will be an occasional side of couponing and planning budget-friendly, healthier meals, topped off with “dietitianisms” – little sprinkles of nutritional wisdom to give you inspiration! I will pepper in very interesting stories about my experiences with nutritional counseling as well as personal nutritional challenges I have faced with myself, my husband and my children. The views expressed in this blog are my own and do not take the place of your healthcare provider’s advice – listen to your doctor! If you have suggestions for topics you want to hear more about, please send an email to [email protected]. Join me in exploring the ever-changing, complicated, confusing world of nutrition – I’ll be your guide! 🙂 Joanne The Dietitianist
