what we do
DIABETES NUTRITION COUNSELING
What is Diabetes Nutrition Counseling?
We use telehealth to provide one-on-one nutrition counseling appointments with a focus on blood sugar control and preventing both short and long term complications.
During these visits, the provider and patient discuss goals, symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Together, a nutrition plan is developed.
Follow up visits are scheduled to provide education, monitor progress, and make changes as needed.
These visits are very personalized and we do not follow a specific program or protocol.
Nutrition counseling is also referred to as Medical Nutrition Therapy.
What to Expect
Diabetes is referred to as a progressive disease. Even when we do everything right, diabetes can present differently over time.
Diabetes is also heavily influenced by diet, exercise, supplements, medication, sleep and other lifestyle factors.
For these reasons, it is expected that achieving and maintaining blood sugar control is a complex process. We go beyond simple lesson plans and work with patients to address diabetes care in a detailed and personal way.
Fees
Most of our patients use their health insurance and have zero out of pocket expenses. Contact our office today to get more information.
