In this episode, we’re joined by Diana Mesa, a bilingual dietitian and certified diabetes educator, to talk about the real-life challenges immigrant and first-generation families face when navigating the U.S. healthcare system. From language barriers and cultural stigma to confusing diagnoses and food shame, Diana shares practical tips for advocating for yourself or your loved ones. We also dive into how diabetes can be managed with cultural foods, why weight is not the whole story, and what true support looks like in care that honors your identity. Diana shares stories from her work supporting first-gen clients, and offers practical ways to advocate for yourself, challenge medical bias, and find providers who truly listen. 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.
