Eating serves many more purposes than just nourishing our bodies. But sometimes eating can feel out of control and becomes a way of escape and of avoiding uncomfortable feelings. Do your eating behaviors negatively affect your diabetes control? This program will focus on practical solutions to manage emotions without opening the fridge. It is possible!
