Weisenberg, Jill. "Counseling Patients about Functional Foods." Modified Foods with Special Functions: Impact on Diabetes. 31. (2010): 29-31. Print.
This journal displays a collection of stories about one aspect within the Dietetic field. The journal was designed for patients so they could relate to current information and expose themselves to a new way of looking at life, and making drastic changes to their lifestyle in order to make it better. The one specific article my advisor recommended had to do with functional foods for diabetic patients which basically states how to do proper shopping around the grocery store. Jill Weisenberg states that these patients should consume foods with heathful carbohydrates, fat, and protein while limiting their consumption of high sodium and excess sucrose containing foods. By doing this, it will help in modulating critical end-points associated with  insulin resistance and hypertension. For a patient to be satisfied with what kind of foods they are actually consuming, they should follow the advice that Jill Weisenberg has provided for them.

This article will be very helpful to me throughout my career as a Dietitian. Everything that Jill stated in this article made sense. Diabetes is something that a lot of people nowadays are dealing with, so I feel that once I get into this field I could use every bit of information from Jill to help struggling patients with their problems. For now I will refer to this journal further my knowledge on this subject and use it as part of my research.
