Our Approach to Diabetes and Prediabetes
At Culina Health, our team of registered dietitian nutritionists and certified diabetes care and education specialists (CDCES) is here to help.
We’ll guide you in understanding how to monitor your blood sugar and identify patterns that affect glucose control, and we will work closely with your doctor to integrate your nutrition care plan with your medical regimen.
We are set apart by our commitment to providing a personalized and sustainable plan for blood sugar management that integrates nutrition, physical activity, and stress management. You receive the support you need to integrate new habits and routines, helping you to achieve long-term success.
Your dietitian will cover topics including understanding and optimizing macronutrients, carbohydrate quality, meal content and timing, how to use exercise and movement to optimize blood sugar, sleep habits and stress levels, blood sugar monitoring, and medication monitoring.

How often should I see a registered dietitian?
Most of our patients benefit from:
- Sessions every 1-2 weeks for the first 1-3 months in care.
- Some patients prefer to continue with sessions every 1-2 weeks after 3 months of care, while others may be ready to graduate to sessions every 1-3 months.
- Once you achieve your long term goals, it can be helpful to check in with your RD every 6-12 months.
For patients experiencing gestational diabetes, you should meet with your RD:
- Weekly for at least 2-4 weeks to start.
- Then, every 2-3 weeks for the duration of your pregnancy.
Your RD will work with you to identify the best cadence to meet your individual needs.

What our patients say
"Working with my dietitian has truly changed my attitude towards nutrition."
When we first met, I was struggling to keep my sugar levels in check and making bad decisions despite my best intentions. Yes, she was able to create a program that matched my goals but, more importantly, she was able to integrate good nutrition into my existing lifestyle rather than changing it completely. To date I’ve dropped my A1C from a 9 to a 5.4 and lost almost 60 lbs in the process!
"I've created an actual lifestyle where I regularly work out in a way that benefits me.”
Seeing my dietitian has honestly changed my life. Before working with her, I was about 20 lbs overweight and not getting nearly enough exercise. I’d spend time looking at before and after photos of others, wishing I could do the same. Working with my dietitian made it easy as it was not about overhauling my life, but about implementing subtle changes until I
developed better, healthier habits.
"I am 25 pounds lighter and have kept it off for about 4 months"
I wanted to lose weight, but more importantly, I wanted to figure out what works for me to maintain it. About 9 months after working with my dietitian, I am 25 pounds lighter and have kept it off for about 4 months — a really impressive achievement for me! I am also more active and don't feel like I am dieting or "watching what I eat" — this is just my lifestyle. I've
most valued having her as a partner in my health.
