Diabetes Discourse

Guest: Amy Ozier, PhD, RD Host: Steven Edelman, MD The EADS (Eating and Appraisal Due to Emotions and Stress) questionnaire developed by Dr. Amy Ozier, registered dietitian and certified health education specialist, and assistant professor and facilitator of the Certificate of Graduate Study for Eating Disorders and Obesity at Northern Illinois University, helps healthcare professionals determine how psychological and physical factors modulate how much patients with diabetes eat. Does this tool help to bridge the gap when a psychologist is missing from a multi-disciplinary team?  Dr. Ozier joins host Dr. Steven Edelman to discuss overeating as a contributing factor in a patient's overall health, the impact of hyperglycemia and treatment that helps modulate behavior.
