Growing up Asian means food is never just food. It's tradition, celebration, and connection. Managing diabetes shouldn't mean losing that. My clients come to me overwhelmed, confused by conflicting advice, and unsure how to adapt the foods they love. Many have tried generic approaches that don't account for their cultural background, family dynamics, or the role food plays in their relationships. I help them build sustainable strategies that honor their heritage while effectively managing blood sugar.
I specialize in Type 1, Type 2, prediabetes, and all forms of diabetes during pregnancy, offering medical nutrition therapy, diabetes education, and ongoing support. Beyond nutrition, I support people across all aspects of diabetes management — medications, technology, and sustainable lifestyle habits. Sessions available in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
Managing diabetes while honoring your culture, your family, and the foods you love shouldn't feel like a compromise. Whether you're newly diagnosed, have been struggling for years, or are navigating diabetes during pregnancy, you deserve care that truly sees you. I'd love to be part of your journey.
