Diabetes and heart health nutrition support
Nutrition care for type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure with a Registered Dietitian, in Wilmington, North Carolina and by telehealth.
Most insurance accepted.
A diagnosis usually arrives with a number and not much else
Get the A1C down. Watch the sodium. Cut the carbs, or possibly do not, depending on which appointment you are remembering.
Then you go home.
You stand in a grocery store reading a label that was not written for you.
You try the thing your cousin did, and it works for eleven days.
You find four articles that contradict each other and a comment section that contradicts all four.
Somewhere in there, the number becomes the whole relationship you have with food.
What actually moves those numbers is a small set of changes specific enough to be useful and modest enough that you are still doing them in March.
What we work on together
Diabetes and prediabetes
-
Carbohydrates in a form you can actually use, rather than a rule you resent
-
Reading your glucose data, including continuous monitor readings, without living inside it
-
Eating alongside metformin, insulin, or GLP-1 medications, including protein needs if your appetite has dropped
-
Preventing the muscle loss that often comes with rapid changes in intake
-
Prediabetes, where relatively small changes carry outsized benefit
-
Eating out, travel, holidays, and everything else the handout skipped
Heart health
-
Cholesterol, triglycerides, and the eating patterns with real evidence behind them
-
Blood pressure and sodium, in practical terms rather than as a number to fear
-
Coordinating with statins or other cardiac medications
-
Fiber, which does more here than almost anything else and gets almost no attention
-
Eating well after a cardiac event, when the advice arrives all at once
-
Managing heart health alongside kidney concerns, where the guidance can conflict
How this works in practice
We start with your last set of labs and your actual week, then pick two or three changes small enough to survive a hard one.
I coordinate with your primary care physician, endocrinologist, or cardiologist so you are not carrying information between providers who have not spoken to each other.
If you also have kidney involvement, which is common with long standing diabetes, that changes the plan meaningfully, and it is one of the things I know best.
How it works

Online, in a few clicks. We will confirm your insurance before you are charged anything.
2
We spend the first session listening
Your history, your labs, your schedule, what you actually eat, and what has already failed you.
3
You get a plan you can follow
Not a meal plan you will abandon. Specific, small, and built around the life you already have.
