Episode 11: Flexible Care, Real Lives: Rethinking Diabetes Management
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
In this episode, host Kim Young, Provincial Practice Lead with Professional Education & Practice, speaks with Robin Lucciantonio, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator at the Garneau Endocrinology Clinic in Edmonton. Together, they explore Robin’s approach to diabetes care and how her commitment to collaboration, equity and person-centred practice contributed to her receiving the Diabetes Impact Award from the Alberta Diabetes Foundation. Topics include: • How Robin’s professional and personal experiences have shaped her approach to collaboration and person-centered care. • The application of harm reduction principles in nutrition care and diabetes management, emphasizing flexibility and alignment with people’s goals and lived experience. • A compelling case example illustrating efforts to support equitable access to advanced diabetes technologies, including automated insulin deliver (AID) systems.
