Diabetes nutrition counseling
Diabetes nutrition counseling
Diet is the part of diabetes care with the biggest effect and the least useful general advice. Counselling here is built around what you actually eat, including the food you are not going to give up.
What's Involved
- Dietary review — An honest look at your current intake, timing, and portions.
- Carbohydrate strategy — Practical counting or plate-method approaches matched to your regimen.
- Realistic changes — A small number of specific changes, reviewed and adjusted over time.
When to Come In
- Post-meal spikes — Readings that climb sharply after eating.
- Newly diagnosed — Wanting to get the foundation right from the start.
- Weight goals — Losing weight while managing glucose safely.
