Dietitians have special skills in translating
scientific and medical decisions related to food
and health to inform the general public. They
also play an important role in health promotion.
A Nationally Registered Dietitian (R.D.) has an
interest in science, people and food, able to
communicate with people from all areas of the
community, the ability to explain complex things
simply, a positive and motivating attitude and an
understanding, non-discriminatory approach as
well as patience and a sense of humour. In
addition to your doctor, an important factor of
your health care needs will be a dietitian. A
dietitian is a nutrition expert who has passed a
national credentialing exam. They can use the
title Registered Dietitian (R.D.), or in some
states Licensed Dietitian (L.D.). Some dietitians
take an additional exam for the credential of
Certified Diabetes Educator (C.D.E.). Regardless
of whether a dietitian is a C.D.E., it is
important for you to choose one experienced with
diabetic meal planning. They will need to work
with your doctor to assist you in fine-tuning
your medications, meals and exercise
requirements. They also will be able to assist
you with reading food labels, and providing
cooking and grocery shopping tips. If you have
