Nutrition Equity Episode 13: Diabetes Awareness month With Jessica
Manage episode 399839775 series 3485028
In this episode of Nutrition Equity I talk with Jessica, a patient with both Classical Homocystinuria and Diabetes. Jessica will talk about the complexities of dealing with two conflicting conditons. Homocystinuria requires a low protein diet and Diabetes requires you to watch your carbs and sugar intake. While nuts aren't allowed for most on a low protein diet trace amounts like you would find in nut or seed milk are ok. Jessica has a nut allergy and depends on oat milk instead of the nut milks. She also talks about her challenges with the healthcare system and how she finds support. #DiabetesAwareness #Homocystinuria #WhyNow4MNEA
