Nutrition is personal—what works for one person may not work for another.

Finding the right balance between nutrition and your diabetes management is key.

Working with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) can be helpful.

An RDN can help you navigate your options and create a plan that suits your lifestyle, health goals, and your body’s specific needs, including:

  • Meal timing
  • Snack choices
  • Overall eating patterns

In addition to physical benefits, 90% of people with diabetes report improved mental health after including a RDN in their diabetes management plan.

And some great news—registered dietitians are often covered by insurance.

No matter where you are in your diabetes journey, support and expert guidance can make all the difference!
