| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of the Diabetes Digital Podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | Today, we are talking about how a dietitian, which is what we are, where dietitians and |
| 0:10.4 | diabetes educators can help you manage your diabetes. |
| 0:13.6 | It's interesting because so many people, including doctors, really don't have any idea how |
| 0:19.9 | dietitians can help with diabetes management. |
| 0:23.2 | We're always reaching out to doctors to form partnerships for referrals. |

| 1:12.5 | dietitian can bring? Because we don't want to do anything that's a waste of time that's |
| 1:17.3 | not going to actually help lower our A1C. And there's actually studies to show how dietitians |
| 1:23.3 | can actually have meaningful impacts on A1C. And we even have our own case studies. |
| 1:27.9 | We're going to share a couple of those as well. |
