Juanita, a 42-year-old woman with no significant medical history, has just finished her annual medical appointment. Her doctor told her that her hemoglobin A1c is slightly elevated, putting her in the range for prediabetes.
Her doctor said if she loses 5-10% of her current weight and makes better food choices, her A1c should go down and this will decrease her risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.
Juanita stops by your office (an assistant nutrition educator) to get more information.
1) What questions would you ask Juanita before providing any guidance? Ask three or more questions that are not answered in the prompt above.
2) Make up Juanita's answers to these questions in full sentences, just like a real conversation.
3) Based on this week's readings and Juanita's answers to your questions, describe at least three key components to healthy weight loss that Juanita will be able to implement immediately. This section should be in paragraph format.
