Managing diabetes with nutrition

You are what you eat — so eat well.

Our licensed, registered dietitians are experts in the science of how food affects your health, offering one-on-one counseling for a host of nutrition topics, including diabetes and weight loss. We’ll teach you how to control — and even prevent — type 2 diabetes by making sensible changes to your diet. 

Diabetes doctors

A reliable relationship with a trusted primary care provider is invaluable in helping to manage any kind of chronic illness.

We have primary care medical practices throughout the region, and many are certified as Patient-centered Medical Homes. These clinics feature care coordinators — clinical staff who follow up with you to schedule future appointments, check to ensure you have your medications or if you require any refills, identify obstacles to care and to schedule referrals with specialists, testing and other medical needs.
