Diabetes Management Coaching

We offer in person or online diabetes management coaching for people living with any type of diabetes. Our team is dedicated to giving you the tools you need to better understand your diabetes so you know why your blood sugar acts as it dies, why you can't lose weight, or why your A1c is high and what you can do about it.

We do not have a special diabetes program that we enroll you in. Instead, our team will educate you on pharmacological medicine, supplements, nutrition, herbs, vitamins, aromatherapy and exercise. We will ask you to track (what you eat, your insulin and/or other medication, your blood sugar, and exercise, etc.) so we can analyze that data and help you create a plan that's right for you and your goals.

For most people, that data and our conversation will reveal opportunities to make (often quite simple) changes to your medication, diet, or lifestyle that can have a great impact on your diabetes management and quality of life.

All coaching programs are individual 1-on-1 sessions on the phone (US only), Doxy.me to address what’s most important to you when it comes to managing your health and diabetes. The time is yours, and our goal is that you will leave each session with new diabetes management tools and knowledge that you can use for the rest of your life.

Our team are Certified Lifestyle Interventionist, Integrative Health Coach, Certified Exercise Therapy Specialist, Practitioner of the Healing Arts, and board approved Mental Health Professional and we have helped women, men and children living with type 1 diabetes and 2 diabetes change their lifestyle habits.

We offer three different diabetes management coaching modules depending on your individual needs.

An analysis of the data you send and suggestions for improvements
One coaching session to make an action plan together
One coaching session 1-2 weeks later to evaluate progress and make adjustments to the plan

Module 1: Blood Sugar Management

This module is for you if you struggle with daily blood sugar management, your A1c is higher than you’d like, or your blood sugars are out of range more than 50 percent of the time.

If you feel like you’ve tried everything and you’re looking for more personalized support outside what your medical team can offer, this is the program for you. My goal is to give you the tools and the knowledge of how your diabetes medications work and how to analyze your blood sugar data so that you’ll become empowered to make the changes needed to be successful.

Before our sessions, you’ll send me all your medication and blood sugar data and I’ll do a full analysis. In our sessions, I’ll walk you through what I see in your data, suggest improvement ideas, and teach you how to do these types of analyses on your own so that you can continue your progress after the coaching program is over. With the right knowledge and the right tools, you can achieve the diabetes management you’re striving for!

Module 2: Exercising with Diabetes

Exercise and diabetes management can be tough, frustrating, and hard to figure out. You might be experiencing low or high blood sugars during or after workouts and it might just all seem random. Or you might be too scared of low blood sugars to even get started.

I can help you crack the code and support you in finding YOUR formula for exercise and diabetes, reducing your amount of out-of-range blood sugars and making exercise much more enjoyable and safer.

My goal is to give you the tools and the knowledge of how exercise impacts your diabetes medication and your body, and what strategies you can implement to exercise safely and effectively with diabetes.

If you already exercise, I’ll have you track your exercise and blood sugar patterns using my unique “Diabetes & Exercise Log”. Prior to your session, I’ll do a full analysis of your data.

In our sessions, I’ll walk you through what I see in your data, teach you techniques for managing medication and food around exercise, and help you create an action plan.

Module 3: Diet & Nutrition with Diabetes

There’s no such thing as a “diabetic diet” that you have to follow, but there are foods that make diabetes management easier and some that will make it more challenging. If you’re at a loss on how to eat optimally for your health, struggle with managing your weight, or see extreme blood sugar fluctuation after meals, this module is for you.

We are here to support you in finding the diet that’s optimal and right for you, your mental health, and your diabetes management.

We always start with your current diet and the foods you like to eat and suggest changes based on that. In that way, you can continue enjoying many of the foods you like rather than starting on a completely new diet.

Before our sessions, I’ll have you track what you eat and drink as well as your blood sugar. I’ll do a full analysis or your current diet and macronutrient breakdown.

In our sessions, I’ll walk you through what I see in your data and suggest improvements. I will also teach you how to make a good meal plan on your own to reach your diabetes and weight goals.
