It is easy to get wrapped up in the nitty gritty part of teaching a person with diabetes about carbohydrate counting, matching insulin to carbohydrates, and then talking about their blood sugar levels.

For everyone, including your clients who have diabetes, food should provide two functions:

  • Nutrition
  • Pleasure/satisfaction

It is beneficial to focus on both aspects. The Mindfulness Tips for Diabetes Handout and Goal Worksheet will give your client with diabetes:

  • An understanding of mindfulness and how it can be a benefit
  • Easy to begin tips to incorporate mindfulness into their eating plan
  • A change of focus from feeling stressed when they eat food to one of awareness and appreciation

The two page handout includes 10 tips/ways to begin incorporating mindfulness into mealtime.

Goal worksheet included.

The Mindfulness Tips for Diabetes Handout and Goal Worksheet is part of the Beyond Diabetes Basics Package, as well as other handouts and worksheets.
