Nutrition Counseling

THE DIABETES CENTRE

At the Diabetes Centre we are here to help you manage your diabetes as well as assisting with the management of pre-diabetes.  We welcome both individuals who have diabetes as well as those who have people with diabetes in their care.

We offer both classes & individual appointments with the Nurse & Dietitian Diabetes Educator.  A physician’s referral is not necessary to attend the diabetes center!

Please take the time to learn how to control your diabetes & how to live a healthy life.

We offer both group classes & individual nutrition counseling by a Registered Dietitian for a variety of nutritional problems including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, unplanned weight loss, food allergies & intolerances.

Please note: We do not offer individual counseling for weight loss.

Anyone is welcome to attend classes or individual appointments whether you have a family doctor, belong to a family health team or don’t have a doctor at all!
