Do you find managing your diabetes overwhelming? Frustrated by the never ending need to watch your weight, seeing the pounds add on year after year, despite your good efforts? Confused about the medication you take? Are your goals to move on beyond your diagnosis, learn what you need to know about managing your condition, and ENJOY a lifestyle plan that will improve your clinical measures (blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, body weight, for starters), increase your strength and energy and build your confidence as a successful self-manager? If so, click on my webpage under my picture for more details about my practice.
My specialties: Weight Management, Diabetes (pre-diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2 and gestational), heart and kidney disease, food intolerances, and inflammatory or immune system issues. You will know what to shop for, how to prepare simple yet enjoyable meals and snacks, and how to tackle your biggest lifestyle challenges when it comes to managing your health.
We can meet in my office or by phone or on video. I can also come to your home or visit your local supermarket with you. My patients describe me as: "Merle is empathic and passionate about helping people.” "Merle is great at translating complicated physiological theories into totally understandable concepts.” “I wish I had met Merle years ago."
