Video Summary

In this webinar, Dr. Catherine Rogers-McManus and Diana Guevara discussed the topic of culinary medicine and its application to diabetes care. Culinary medicine is the practice of using food and cooking techniques to improve health outcomes and manage chronic conditions. The speakers presented their respective interventions and discussed the positive impact they had on patients with diabetes. Dr. Rogers-McManus spoke about the DICE intervention, a family and community-based culinary medicine program for youth with type 1 diabetes. The program aims to improve glycemic control and overall health outcomes by providing education on nutrition, cooking skills, and diabetes management. Diana Guevara presented the Nourish Program, a virtual culinary medicine intervention for adults with type 2 diabetes. The program focuses on improving healthy eating and cooking skills, and has shown positive results in terms of dietary behaviors and A1C levels. Both interventions demonstrated the importance of incorporating culinary medicine into diabetes care, as it can lead to improved health outcomes, increased self-efficacy, and a positive relationship with food. They also highlighted the need for more funding and research in this area to further support the implementation of culinary medicine interventions.
