➢
Achieve and maintain body weight goals
➢
Attain individualized glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid goals
➢
Delay or prevent complications of diabetes
2.
To address individual nutrition needs based on personal and cultural preferences, health literacy and numeracy, access to healthful food choices, willingness and ability to make behavioral changes, as well as barriers to change
3.
To maintain the pleasure of eating by providing nonjudgmental messages about food choices
4.
