Nutrition and Diabetes: How Medical Nutrition Therapy Can Improve Diabetes Management Presented by the National Health Care for the Homeless Council Thursday, February 28, 2019 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. CT March is National Nutrition Month! In recognition of this special month, the National HCH Council is hosting a webinar highlighting the important role Registered Dietitians (RDNs) play in the complex care of patients experiencing homelessness with diabetes.

RDNs provide self-management education, support, medical nutrition therapy, and offer innovative approaches to nutrition care.
