A Healthier You, One Step at a Time

  • Diabetes Education on the Sunshine Coast

    Devastated that diabetes education is no longer available on the Sunshine Coast, this was such a passion for me when I worked at Sechelt Hospital, and I’ve just discovered from Rami, that the hospital has stopped providing Diabetes Education Clinics since I left the hospital, in 2020.

    When I think of the hundreds of patients that went through the clinic annually, I realize what a barrier it must be to many to take the ferry into Vancouver, enroll in the diabetes classes and become certified. Certification relieves the expense of diabetes testing strips immensely.

    The Diabetes and Heart Smart clinics constituted 50% of my caseload there; fortunately the hospital has increased the dietitians hours, so overall, there may be better accessibility of dietitian services in the hospital.

    To clients who need diabetes services, and have health care coverage for a registered dietitian, although without the clinic, we can no longer give certification here, I am very knowledgeable of your needs, currently a diabetes insulin pump trainer so please contact me if you need help adjusting your insulin to your diet and exercise, many private health programs cover the services of a registered dietitian.
