Nutritional Counseling
Do you have a medical condition that requires you to follow a special diet? Are you confused about food labeling (what you hear and read in the news) and how it applies to you?

- Cancer

- Crohn’s, Colitis, IBS
- Celiac Disease

- Gastrointestinal disease
- Gestational diabetes

Our Registered Dietitians provide:
- Self-management education and training to people with diabetes
- An interactive, individualized, collaborative, and ongoing process involving the person with diabetes or pre-diabetes
- The following are topics covered:
- Healthy eating
- Being active
- Glucose monitoring
- Taking medication
- Problem solving
- Healthy coping and reducing risk
We believe education is a key component in effective control and management of diabetes. With proper education, people with poorly controlled diabetes can regain control and minimize the risk of future complications. People with long-standing diabetes can learn new techniques to maintain good glycemic control and regain motivation to follow their self-management plans.
