Diabetes Dietitian: Habit-Based Nutrition Counseling
We understand your struggles with diabetes and prediabetes.
-
Conflicting advice from every provider you see
-
"Avoid this, avoid that" rules that leave you afraid to eat
-
Multiple conditions, like diabetes and heart disease, with no plan that combines them
​
Unfortunately, we've heard these struggles many times, but fortunately, we can help! Managing your diabetes doesn't have to be difficult and stressful.

What a Diabetes Dietitian Actually Does
As your diabetes dietitian, I go beyond a list of foods to avoid. I look at your blood work, eating habits, schedule, and food preferences, then build a plan around all of it, including blood pressure and heart health. If it helps, I coordinate with your primary care physician too.
Our approach to diabetes and prediabetes
When you have diabetes, working with a diabetes dietitian is crucial to understand how foods affect your body and blood sugars. When you work with us, we go beyond a list of foods to avoid. We look at your blood work, eating habits, schedule, and food preferences, then build a plan around all of it. We coordinate with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to provide the best care for you.
Nutrition Support for Every Stage of Diabetes and Prediabetes
​We also support diabetes alongside weight loss, GLP-1 medications, or general nutrition goals.
​
More than 37 million Americans have diabetes, and most prediabetes goes undiagnosed. Nutrition therapy from a registered dietitian is one of the most effective tools for managing both.
