Health Spotlight: Diabetes Care

Did you know more than 9 million people in Canada are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes?

People living with diabetes can lower their risk of suffering heart attack, stroke, and damage to the eyes, kidneys and nerves with 16 to 40% respectively. Diabetes not only those suffering from it but also their families and loved ones.

As a Certified Diabetes Educator, I’m here to help people with diabetes to identify and overcome obstacles that prevent them from managing their diabetes in the best possible way. My role is to help you develop skills to self-manage in ways that will fit your life, while providing ongoing guidance, support and motivation. This one-on-one approach translates into improvement of blood sugar, blood pressure, lipids and weight loss goals, delay in development of complications, improvement of symptoms and quality of life, fewer hospitalizations and lower health care costs.

I’m here to help you can manage diabetes instead of diabetes managing you! I look forward to working with you and help you to thrive!
