Use a nutritionist to help you make a diabetic-friendly diet plan
“I have worked with a number of phenomenal certified diabetes educators and nutritionists all throughout my career,” says Dr. Soleimanpour. “I would ask for their advice on why a certain food is a good choice or a bad choice. But you don’t have to be an endocrinologist to seek out a nutritionist or diabetes coordinator to get that information.”
In fact, a lot of health insurance plans pay for diabetes education and nutrition, but you’ll want to call to find out your coverage. The more information you have, the more successfully you can manage your diabetes.
