From Education to Empowerment: A Conversation on Diabetes Care
In this episode of Healthy Talk, we dive into the world of nutrition and diabetes care with Jessica Van Dalen, Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Educator at Boone County Hospital. Jessica shares how her own health experiences and interest in food science led her to pursue a career in dietetics, and how that journey eventually brought her to Boone.
Jessica offers clear, compassionate insight into what it’s like to live with diabetes—whether Type 1, Type 2, or gestational—and how she works with patients to help them feel confident and supported in managing their health. From dispelling common myths to explaining how technology like continuous glucose monitors is transforming care, she walks us through the challenges, breakthroughs, and deeply personal nature of diabetes education.
Whether you’ve just been diagnosed, are caring for someone with diabetes, or want to better understand how nutrition impacts overall health, this episode is filled with expert knowledge and down-to-earth encouragement—straight from a provider who’s making a difference every day at Boone County Hospital.
