Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist (CDCES)
Expertise: Nutrition & Dietetics, Diabetes
Highlights, Experience & Education
Diana collaborated with primary healthcare providers in a pilot program to assist patients in adjusting their insulin levels to meet their blood sugar goals. On average, patients lowered their hemoglobin A1c levels by over 2% through working with Diana. This collaboration was the first of its kind in the organization.
I enjoy helping other people improve their quality of life, both physically and mentally. Nutrition plays a big role in both physical and mental health, and I find joy in helping people reach their goals and notice a positive difference in how they feel. Nutrition has played a big role in my life, and I enjoy sharing that knowledge and experience with others.
