Get the best support To Manage your Diabetes
Managing diabetes can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Long Island Nutritionist, we will provide you top grade medical support by pairing you with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) and Registered Dietitian.
A CDCES is a highly trained healthcare professional who specializes in helping people live healthier, more confident lives with diabetes. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing diabetes for years, partnering with a CDCES from our team can make all the difference in your long-term success.
Our team has extensive training and experience in diabetes care. They stay up to date on the latest science, medications, technology, and dietary/lifestyle approaches to provide evidence-based, personalized guidance.
Specialized Diabetes Care and Guidance
Our approach to diabetes care:
1. Personalized Diabetes Management Plans
No two people manage diabetes the same way. A CDCES from our team takes the time to understand your health history, lab work, lifestyle, preferences, and goals to create a plan that truly fits your life. You’ll receive individualized strategies for nutrition, activity, medication, stress, sleep, and blood glucose patterns—not generic advice.
2. Better Blood Sugar Control
Working with a CDCES can help you understand how food, movement, hormones, medications, and daily habits work together.
They help you spot trends, identify triggers, and learn how to respond proactively so you can achieve more stable, predictable blood sugar levels.
3. Support in Understanding Medications and Technology
From insulin dosing to continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and smart insulin pens, diabetes technology is constantly advancing.
A CDCES from Long Island Nutritionist will help you:
- Understand your medications and how they work
- Use devices confidently and troubleshoot issues
- Interpret data from your CGM, glucometer, or insulin pump
- Make informed decisions about adjustments (in collaboration with your medical provider)
4. Improved Nutrition and Meal Planning
Food choices are one of the biggest challenges in diabetes management. A CDCES—especially one who is also a Registered Dietitian like us—provides practical, realistic guidance such as:
- Carbohydrate counting made simple
- Meal planning that fits your culture, preferences, and schedule
- Navigating restaurants, holidays, and social events
- Tips to prevent blood sugar spikes and dips
- Easy swaps and additions to improve overall nutrition
This is not dieting—it’s sustainable eating that empowers you!
