Living a happy and healthy life with diabetes requires a proactive approach to maintaining one’s health and wellbeing. Along with exercise, one of the most valuable allies to have on your management team is a registered Dietitian.

Dietitians are healthcare professionals that specialise in nutrition and behavioural change science, playing a crucial role in helping you manage your diabetes effectively, without abandoning your enjoyment of food.

Our experienced Dietitian Maddie Lawson, strives to meet you where you are on your wellbeing journey and work with you to provide specialised advice and sustainable strategies to manage your blood sugars and symptoms for life!

Here are some of the key benefits of seeing our
Dietitian Maddie for diabetes:

 

1. Personalised Nutrition Advice

Dietitians understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing diabetes. Our Dietitian Maddie, will work with you to adapt your personalised nutrition plan around your unique health status, lifestyle and preferences. Maddie believes that our diets are at their most optimal and sustainable when there is a healthy balance between foods for health, performance (both physical and mental ability) and ENJOYMENT! This philosophy is intertwined in all of her dietary recommendations to ensure that they align with the person’s specific needs and goals – because no one wants to be eating foods they don’t enjoy!!

2. Upgrade your Blood Sugar Control tool kit

Dietitians serve as educators, providing individuals with diabetes the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their diet. Empowering patients with the understanding of how their food choices impact their health fosters a sense of control and self-efficacy.

Maddie can help individuals with diabetes make informed food choices that can contribute to greater blood sugar control. She will work with you, to educate you & build your own knowledge and understanding on the impact of different foods and their combinations can have on your blood sugar levels. Her goal is to empower you, leaving you confident, self assured and capable of making informed choices regarding your nutrition. By doing so, she strives to support stable and healthy blood sugar levels, ensuring your overall well-being.

Beyond dietary advice, Maddie can offer guidance on lifestyle modifications that complement diabetes management. This may include recommendations on physical activity, stress management, and sleep hygiene – all of which play a significant role in diabetes care.

3. Continuous Monitoring, Adjustment and Support

Diabetes management is an ongoing process that often require adjustments over time as your lifestyle changes. Like learning any new skill, learning to eat to manage your diabetes can be a journey – and Maddie will be there with you every step of the way!

Working with you, at your pace, Maddie ensures progress is made and all changes feel sustainable for you. Regular check in’s allow us to problem solve in real time and learn & adapt from any challenges that may arise.

For example, often busy periods at work or during school can lead us to leaning on convenience options to sustain ourselves. Working with a Maddie, she can make suggestions to ensure these convenience options support good blood sugar management and help move you towards your goals rather than away from them.

Maddie believes that true progress comes when we follow the philosophy of consistency > perfection. Often an 80% hit rate can outpace an unsustainable 100%, and an 80% approach allows for balance, flexibility and most importantly sustainability.  Consistent support from our Dietitian, can foster invaluable accountability and progress validation, which can help keep you consistent across your blood sugar management journey.

4. Proactive over Reactive

Working with a Dietitian like Maddie, is an effective way of taking control of your diabetes & health before it gets away from you. Being proactive with your food intake and exercise will harbour the best results.

Maddie’s expertise in nutrition, her personalised approach, and ongoing support can make a significant difference in helping you lead a healthy and fulfilling life.  Be informed and feel empowered to make dietary choices that boost your health and work towards feeling your best!
