POV: you're newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and you're AFRAID to eat

Client testimonial 🇹🇹

When we started, Afiesha was newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes with an HbA1c >13%

And she was afraid to eat... understandably so

We worked together for two group cycles (6 months total) and she learned how to:

🌱 Manage her carbohydrate intake while on insulin

🌱 Use Caribbean foods to support lower blood sugar levels

🌱 Build sustainable diet and lifestyle habits

By the end of our programs, her HbA1c dropped to 6.7%...while eating local from ALL food groups

Years later, she's still using what she learned - further lowering her HbA1c to 5.6% - and confidently managing her blood sugar levels

I'm as grateful as she is for these results 🙏🏾

If you're ready to stop guessing & start confidently managing your chronic health - I'm accepting a limited number of coaching clients

Managing chronic health doesn’t mean giving up Caribbean foods—provisions, pelau, peas/beans, and bhagi still belong on your plate.

For over 5 years, I’ve helped Caribbean individuals improve blood sugar, cholesterol, weight, and overall metabolic health using culturally relevant, evidence-based nutrition.

This is not a diet.
It’s sustainable wellness rooted in Caribbean culture.
