Controlling blood sugar can be challenging in everyday life. The dietary approach that will be used to help you in this process is the combination of the antioxidant rich Mediterranean diet, with the lower glycemic index foods in order to help regulate the “hi’s and “low’s”.
The diet will have the right balance of macronutrients and you will learn some “tricks” to help you with normalizing blood sugar. A detailed diet history, as well as blood measurements, where appropriate will be used, in order for the diet to be tailored to your child’s schedule, needs, activity and preferences. We will be working in collaboration with you child’s doctor/ pediatric endocrinologist.
The “dietrophy” tools that will be used, based on the latest scientific evidence for best outcome, include:
- Nutrition education
- Goal setting
- Personalized meal plan
- Shopping list of appropriate foods
- Recipes, healthy eating can be tasty
- How to deal with hypoglycemia
- Support and guidance
