Episode 12: Health Coaching with Fit2Me

Written by

This week Corinna and Mike talk about the Fit2Me diet and lifestyle coaching program. Fit2Me is a free program created by and run by AstraZeneca. It is the only diabetes diet and lifestyle support program to offer the guidance and encouragement of “digital coaches” who help users through the process and celebrating successes along the way.

We also interview registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator Susan LaRue. Susan works for AstraZeneca, where she brings a deep knowledge of clinical, behavioral, patient, and healthcare professional perspectives to the development of tools to manage diabetes.

Fit2Me focuses on four key areas of diabetes management – food, activity, support team and treatment support.

Food – Fit2Me has a database of more than 10,000 diabetes-friendly recipes, based on criteria from the American Diabetes Association. After providing their likes and dislikes when it comes to cuisine and ingredients, individuals receive their own customized recipe selections allowing them to pick a single meal or create a weekly meal plan.
Activity – Fit2Me has a database of more than 500 physical activities and focused exercises, most of which have videos with step-by-step instructions. Users can customize a personal activity program based on their activity level and preferences, with exercises covering lifestyle, cardio, strength and flexibility.
Support Team – Fit2Me offers each user a digital coach, whose responses to questions help plan and celebrate successes. The program offers users the opportunity to select from a number of digital coaches to ensure they’re paired with the one that is best-suited to motivate them.
Treatment Support – Fit2Me offers treatment and appointment reminders, blood sugar trackers, and a personalized treatment kit that includes information about type 2 diabetes and treatment options from AstraZeneca that they can discuss with their doctor.

Master Chat: Benefits of Exercise and Risks of Avoiding it

Written by

Chris Anderson presents the Benefits of Exercise and Risks of Avoiding it

Chris is a volunteer RN and diabetes educator at a faith based, non-profit primary healthcare center for uninsured individuals in Alabama, which is staffed by 14 volunteer doctors, 70 other volunteers, and 6 paid employees. Last year they logged over 7400 patient visits. Chris began the masters at Teachers College Columbia so she could begin a diabetes education program for their patients, as there was not much DSME for uninsured folks in her town. With her help, the center began a DSME program at the clinic 1 year ago.

The Master Chat Series is an annual collaboration between TuDiabetes and Teacher’s College Columbia University’s Master of Science in Diabetes Education and Management program. This 36-credit inter-professional master’s program is offered to clinicians who are currently in or interested in the diabetes field. As part of a course requirement, students present ‘Master Chats’ on a variety of topics they have chosen based on discussions taking place in the TuDiabetes community. Master Chats include a 10-15 minute presentation followed by a Q and A, and it’s an opportunity not only for TuDiabetes members to learn from students in this program, but also to give feedback to them in an effort to help them be the best care-givers they can be!
