Better Diabetes Management
We know that having diabetes can be frustrating and overwhelming sometimes. Our staff is available to recommend an individualized diabetic health plan that includes a complete nutrition assessment, recommended exercise program, adjustment of medication regimens, identification of cardiovascular risk factors and appropriate treatment options; and laboratory and diagnostic testing. We also continuously collaborate with your referring health care provider to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems Program
We have the latest continuous glucose monitors systems that allow us to identify blood glucose excursions and trends to help optimize diabetes control.

Evaluation of Cardiac Risk Factors
Through a comprehensive initial assessment all cardiovascular risk factors will be identified and appropriate action will be taken with the collaboration of the referring health care provider.

Pregnancy & Gestational Diabetes Management
Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy. While eating healthy is an important part of any pregnancy, developing an individualized plan that includes a low-glycemic diet can help to keep the effects of gestational diabetes as minimal as possible. Through the program we’ll help you develop a dietary program, perform close glucose monitoring, and initiate and adjust any necessary medication regimen. In close collaboration with your referring health care provider, we’ll help monitor your condition throughout your pregnancy.
