What is the optimal diet when using GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro or Ozempic?
When on Mounjaro or Ozempic, the focus shifts to minimizing side effects like nausea and maximizing fat loss. Our nutritionists guide patients toward high-protein, low-fat diets that work directly with these GLP-1 therapies for effective, sustained blood sugar control.
How does consistency in carbohydrate intake impact diabetes management?
Consistency is key to stabilizing blood sugar. Consistent carbohydrate intake (both in amount and timing) is crucial for accurate medication dosing in Type 1 diabetes and for preventing glucose spikes and crashes in Type 2 diabetes, leading to better overall control.
How does a specialist nutritionist help reduce the risk of diabetes complications?
Our experts focus on diets rich in antioxidants and healthy fats to protect the kidneys, eyes, and nerves. By aggressively managing blood sugar and lipid profiles, our structured nutritional programs significantly reduce the long-term risk of severe diabetes complications such as neuropathy and retinopathy.
