Private nutrition support for diabetes with a referral by your provider to receive education and training to manage this condition confidently. I will help you learn:
what foods affect your blood sugars
what you can eat
different strategies to plan meals
how to use a continuous glucose monitor
to effectively use diabetes technology (continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, patch pumps, etc.)
to improve Time in Range
and much more to help you stay on top of this condition.
A one-on-one, collaborative conversation that develops a comprehensive nutrition focused assessment of your diet history, medical history, recent labs, physical findings, lifestyle habits, current eating patterns, goal setting, etc to evaluate what you're doing well and where they may be some room for improvement. This is my opportunity to get to know you.
If it has been over a year since you've had a nutrition session, a new nutrition evaluation is needed to re-establish care.
Unhurried visits range from 55-75 minutes.
Nutrition focused physical exam (NFPE) is a head-to-toe assessment to check for nutritional status, such as muscle mass, fat stores, fluid retention, hair, skin, nails, eyes, and functional capacity, for nutrient deficiencies.
Ongoing visits can be 15 to 45 minutes depending on your preference. We will typically have an initial session and follow-up depending on your needs and progress. I recommend at least 3 counseling sessions (as follow-ups) a year to re-evaluate your goals and update your nutrition plan.
Common nutrition topics include:
Best foods for your specific health needs
Live meal and snack planning
Grocery shopping, grocery list building
Cooking strategies and methods
Portion sizing
Dining out
...and more!
