Session 2: Patients &amp; Community Voices – Helpful resources for prevention and better management of our diabetesFor anyone who is diagnosed with diabetes, it is critical to have access to education and information which can help learn self-care and prevent future complications.

Let’s discuss what can be done.*Facilitated by Ms. Quynh Tu, RDN LDN CDCES (Enhance Asian Community on Health / Boston College)    Speakers    Dr. Elaine Shiang, Joslin's Asian Clinic patient    Ms. Rachel Lee, MPH RD LDN IBCLC, Quincy Asian Resources, Inc.    Dr. Herman Harry Lee, Board Member, South Cove Community Health Center    Ms. Tuyet Tran, MSW, LICSW, Executive Director, Southeast Asian Coalition of Central MALuncheon &amp; Networking at Joslin atriumTribute to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/dining/jasper-white-dead.html" target="_blank">Chef Jasper White</a> Chef Jasper White was an award-winning chef and a respected restaurateur.

Having diabetes does not mean you are restricted from certain foods. Knowing what you can do, or what to avoid allows us to make better choices in our lifestyle. Let’s learn some of our options and who can help you navigate the process.*Facilitated by Dr. Frank Hu, MD MPH PhD, Professor and the Chair, Department of Nutrition, Harvard T.H.

AA may have higher prevalence of gestational diabetes, knowing what’s good for mothers and babies can benefit the entire family and there are many steps everyone can incorporate in their routines.
