Our Prediabetes/Diabetes Management Program is based on the latest clinical recommendations and guidelines. This program is designed for individuals with prediabetes, those who are at risk for Type 2 diabetes and want to lower their risk, and those with Type 2 diabetes who want to reduce or eliminate their medications in collaboration with their Primary Care Provider. It is based on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine which are Nutrition, Physical Activity, Stress Management, Restorative Sleep, Social Connection, and Avoidance of Risky Substances.
In our program, we do a thorough review of your medical history followed by an evidence-based lifestyle habits assessment. We check a complimentary HgA1C and lipid panel, if needed. We give you general lifestyle recommendations for prediabetes/diabetes management as well as generate a personalized lifestyle plan focusing on nutrition, physical activity and weight management. Your Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) data will be followed, if available, to help adjust your lifestyle plan. You will be responsible to follow up with your Primary Care Provider for any values outside the normal range, but we will use it as a guide to generate your individualized lifestyle plan and to assess your progress. The intensity of the prescribed lifestyle therapy will be stratified by the risk of diabetes complications. We will follow up with one-on-one video visits, biweekly for 3 months, to provide ongoing support and guidance to help you implement the lifestyle plan. We have an ongoing maintenance program, if desired, for after you complete the Prediabetes/Diabetes Management Program.
Total Duration: 7 consultations over 14 weeks, with an option to continue with our Ongoing Maintenance Program.
