In this episode, Laurence talks with Katie, a coach for Fruit Street Health’s Diabetes Prevention Program.

A registered dietitian and a certified diabetes educator, Katie received her bachelor's degree in nutrition from Montana State University and her master's degree in human nutrition from Arizona State University.

Discussed in this episode:

* Katie explores how participants of in-person diabetes prevention programs dislike being weighed in front of another person—even if that person is a registered dietician. These discomforts and anxieties, Katie explains, can sometimes be lessened when participants in digital diabetes prevention programs use smart scales.

* The pros and cons of someone committed to weight loss weighing themself daily versus weighing themself weekly.

* One-on-one dietician counseling compared to counseling via a support group. And how group sessions can help alleviate burn-out for healthcare professionals (who can interact with, say, thirty people in a group in a much more timely matter compared to interacting with thirty people in one-on-one consults).

* Empowering people with diabetes.
