Diabetes Digital Podcast by Food Heaven

No weight loss required: What actually helps people with diabetes w/ Megrette Fletcher

11 Jun 2025

Description

In this powerful episode, Jess sits down with Megrette Fletcher, registered dietitian, diabetes care and education specialist, and co-author of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes. Megrette is a pioneer in weight-inclusive diabetes care, and this conversation is packed with perspective shifts and gentle challenges to the way we've all been taught to think about blood sugar, food, and health. Together, Jess and Megrette explore the power of language in diabetes care, the emotional and physical toll of weight-centric messaging, and why success shouldn't be defined by weight loss or perfect numbers. Megrette shares how we can shift from a restrictive, shame-based approach to one rooted in agency, autonomy, and ease and why those concepts aren’t just helpful, but essential for sustainable care. This episode also includes a powerful reflective exercise that left Jess rethinking her own approach to care. Whether you're living with diabetes, supporting a loved one, or working in healthcare, this conversation is one you’ll want to revisit.Learn more about Megrette at megrette.com and subscribe to her newsletter No Weight Loss Required.If you're living with diabetes or prediabetes and want personalized support from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist covered by insurance, visit diabetesdigital.co to connect with our culturally aware and weight-inclusive team.
