There is a wealth of information and misinformation about diabetes available. We understand that diabetes management can be incredibly overwhelming. Let us support you! The Saluté Nutrition team is made up of experienced Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN), Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (CDCES), and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) specializing in diabetes care. Research shows that working with a Registered Dietitian to receive medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a cost-effective intervention for diabetes management and education. We provide individualized nutrition counseling and diabetes management (medication and lifestyle) to support YOU in effectively managing your diabetes! Whether you’ve had diabetes for years or recently diagnosed, the Saluté Nutrition Team is committed to providing you with the knowledge, tools, skills, and support needed to live a vibrant and full life. Not only can we assist patients with managing diabetes through nutrition and lifestyle, but also with diabetes-related medications and technology such as glucose meters, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and insulin pumps. We are certified on all FDA-approved diabetes products.
