Google “snacks for people with diabetes” and you will see a lot of articles and ideas about what to eat. Roasted chickpeas, almonds, air-popped popcorn, and chia seed pudding are healthy suggestions. But you may also find recommendations for highly processed foods like beef sticks and other foods high in saturated fat and sodium. So, how do patients decide on snacks that will truly help control diabetes and their overall wellness? Have them talk to a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who will work with them to create a personalized food plan. My Diabetes Tutor’s Medical Nutrition Program’s RDNs help people with diabetes select foods, including snacks, that are tailored to individual health goals and personal preferences.

Diabetes is a well-known risk factor for dementia. For men with poor cardiometabolic health, the risk is even higher. However, a healthy lifestyle may counteract this risk, and a Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) program can help patients make lifestyle adjustments. Covered by most insurances, My Diabetes Tutor’s DSMES program provides personalized education and support for people with diabetes. MDT’s virtual program is proven to help patients successfully manage their diabetes and overall health.

My Diabetes Tutor’s (MDT) study on effectively reducing health disparities showed that an All-Spanish Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) curriculum reduced A1Cs by 1.6% and helped achieve healthy eating goals for 57% of participants. Given the absence of Spanish-language curriculums for online delivery, MDT’s tailored program addresses this vital gap. Our nationally accredited DSMES program delivers in a culturally appropriate way and includes after-hours availability and telehealth methods.

Does the order in which you eat your food during a meal impact your blood sugar? Research says yes, and several studies have found that eating vegetables and protein before consuming simple carbohydrates had a beneficial impact on post-meal blood sugar. My Diabetes Tutor’s Medical Nutrition Program helps patients understand the role of food on blood sugar. Our nutrition specialists work with each patient to create an eating plan that supports managing the condition.

Knowing what percent of the time blood glucose levels are “in range” offers big benefits in managing diabetes. Time in range (TIR) data helps patients understand the impact of food, activity, illness, medications, and other factors on blood glucose. The easiest and most accurate way to calculate TIR is using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Wearable CGM technology tracks glucose levels over time and measures the glucose level in the interstitial fluid 24 hours a day My Diabetes Tutor’s (MDT) Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (CDCES) offer virtual device training to help patients set up CGMs and sync them to smartphone apps. They explain how to understand and respond to the data and provide problem-solving advice for this transformative technology.
