Diabetes Education and Coaching Services
As a Registered Nurse and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, I have worked with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes clients at different stages of their diagnosis. I have a passion to help improve the lives and diabetes management of those living with diabetes, especially those on insulin injections. Diabetes is not a "one size fits all" and neither is diabetes education.
