How can a dietitian help me with diabetes?

The American Diabetes Association recommends nutrition counseling for all people with type 2 diabetes as part of their treatment plan. Nutrition counseling is defined as working with a registered dietitian in a one-on-one setting to help a person reach their nutrition and health goals through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle interventions.

Can I reverse diabetes?

Diabetes reversal or remission is possible through medical treatment and lifestyle interventions. Partial remission is when A1c levels are below 6.5% for one year without medications, while complete remission requires an A1c of less than 5.7%.

 

Benefits of nutrition counseling for diabetes

Working with a dietitian has been shown to result in lower dosages needed for oral glucose-lowering medications, like metformin. Some people are able to discontinue one or more medications altogether. Nutrition therapy can also help prevent weight gain in people starting insulin therapy.

 

How does nutrition impact diabetes?

When you eat and what you eat can significantly impact your blood sugar. Going too long without eating can result in low blood sugar levels.

Foods that are high in carbohydrates and low in fiber can spike your blood sugar. Eating lean proteins, whole-grain carbohydrates, and healthy fats at regular times can help stabilize your blood glucose levels.
