For people with type 2 diabetes, nutrition can play an important role in improving health outcomes. Research shows that targeted dietary changes can support weight management, enhance insulin sensitivity, and improve blood glucose control, which together help lower the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease and kidney disease. Small, consistent adjustments, like choosing balanced meals, spacing carbohydrates throughout the day, and pairing them with protein and fiber, can make a meaningful difference in long-term A1C levels and overall metabolic health.

For those with type 1 diabetes, nutrition planning is a key part of daily management. Because insulin dosing must be carefully balanced with meals and physical activity, learning how to count carbohydrates, understand glycemic response, and adjust nutrition around exercise can increase consistency and reduce unexpected highs or lows. This knowledge not only supports better glucose stability but also helps build confidence in handling real-world situations like dining out, travel, or a change in routine.

Together, we’ll create a plan that fits into your daily life, not one that feels rigid or unrealistic. That might mean learning how different foods affect your blood glucose through practical tools like food logs or continuous glucose monitoring, or finding meal-planning strategies that are easy to implement at home and flexible enough for eating out or social events. If you’re living with type 1 diabetes, we can focus on strategies for matching meals with insulin timing and dosage, as well as adjustments around exercise. If you’re managing type 2 diabetes, we may prioritize gradual changes that improve A1c and fasting glucose while supporting long-term health goals.
