Overcome your challenges with diabetes
Diabetes is a complicated chronic disease where the body either doesn’t make enough insulin or cannot properly use insulin present in the body. Common struggles with diabetes include:
- Poor blood sugar control
- Weight management
- Heart health complications
- Fatigue and weakness
- Skin and mouth conditions
Many struggle with diabetes distress – a sense of overwhelm that can come with the ongoing management of this challenging condition. Having the right team, including a registered dietitian, is vital to overcoming this distress and finding sustainable diabetes management tools.
Find lasting diabetes solutions with personalized support
While diabetes is a long-term condition, with personalized support from a qualified dietitian nutritionist, you can find lasting relief from the challenges of the disease. With medical nutrition therapy, you can:
- Find a diet that suits your specific condition and lifestyle
- Create a more balanced lifestyle with plenty of sleep and exercise
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve cravings
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Food is intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. People who worked with a dietitian through Fay made lifestyle changes that had immense benefit to their physical health.
Making lifestyle changes surrounding food and nutrition had benefits that went beyond the physical. Food and our relationship with it, has far reaching implications on our emotional and mental health.
What to look for in a diabetes nutritionist
Registered dietitian nutritionist title
Diabetes is a medical condition that necessitates medical nutrition therapy as a treatment method. Only registered dietitian nutritionists (RDs or RDNs) are qualified to provide this; someone who calls themselves a nutritionist without the RDN designation is not. Check a provider’s qualifications before working with them.
Expertise in diabetes
Treating diabetes requires in-depth knowledge about the condition and its requisite treatment. Working with a dietitian who specializes in diabetes ensures you are getting higher quality care that follows the latest research and methods to achieve optimal outcomes.
Proven experience
What do the dietitian’s current clients have to say about their treatment? Read through reviews to learn about the provider’s strengths and don’t be afraid to ask questions in your initial consultation to learn more about their experience with diabetes.
Empathetic bedside manner
Diabetes can be exhausting to manage. You want to work with a provider who has both the expertise and bedside manner to make you feel taken care of both emotionally and medically. With Fay, if you feel your first provider isn’t a good match, you can work with someone else with whom you feel more comfortable.
Fay’s expert diabetes nutritionists
Focuses on diabetes treatment
With Fay, you can find diabetes dietitians all over the country who have the experience and track record you want. Their expertise and good reviews give assurance that you’re in good hands.
Accepts insurance
Every Fay dietitian accepts health insurance. This makes diabetes medical nutrition therapy significantly easier to access. In fact, you could pay as little as $0 per session.
Meets both virtually and in person
Fay providers meet both online and in-person, opening up your options. Virtual medical nutrition therapy is just as effective as in-person treatment and can make it easier to find a provider who works with your schedule.
Accounts for your whole health
Diabetes is a complex condition with several co-factors and health risks. Your dietitian will take your whole health – and whole life – into account when designing your custom meal plan, ensuring it works for your health goals and your broader lifestyle.
Overcoming the challenges of diabetes
Finding sustainable diabetes treatment
Whether you are newly diagnosed or many years into dealing with diabetes, managing the disease can be challenging. With your Fay dietitian, you will find lasting treatment solutions that improve your overall health and help you regain some freedom.
The comorbidities of diabetes
Diabetes comes with a host of comorbidities and health risks, including heart disease. Your diet needs to account for these risks as well as diabetes itself. Your dietitian can help you navigate all these concurrent concerns to help you become as healthy as possible.
Navigating weight loss
As many as 90% of adults with type 2 diabetes are obese. Weight loss is often a crucial part of diabetes treatment, as it is correlated with improved key health markers including blood sugar and cholesterol. This will be incorporated into your plan as needed to help you achieve a healthy weight while successfully minimizing your diabetes symptoms.
Seeing light in a lifetime diagnosis
Diabetes stays with you for life, but that doesn’t mean it needs to define your life. Working with a Fay dietitian will equip you with the tools you need to manage your diabetes and overall health without it taking over your life.
