I am Jan Swanson, a Dietetic Intern, currently interning at a small hospital. My intention is to become a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. I’ve personally had Type 1 Diabetes for over 40 years and am blessed with a healthy life & supporting family. While my life never revolved around being a diabetic or the food I ate, it has always been an important part. I recently came to the conclusion that education is the key to managing and preventing diabetes. Nutrition education has so much to offer in the way of healthy living for all populations.
In hopes of reaching people trying to improve their eating habits and manage their diabetes I’ve recently become a Nutrition Editor at http://FOODPICKER.org – a website designed to help people with diabetes.
I’ve also created this blog for discussing diabetes management and nutrition. I hope you will share your comments and questions about diabetes care, nutrition and your experiences.
