The Nutritionist and Nurse
Bring evidence-based diabetes prevention to your workforce, your members, or your community.
One in three American adults has prediabetes. In most organizations, that means one in three of your employees, your members, or the people you serve is on a path toward type 2 diabetes — a chronic condition that costs the U.S. healthcare system more than $400 billion every year.
The good news: prediabetes can be reversed. The Diabetes Prevention Program, developed by the CDC, has been shown to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58 percent — and up to 71 percent for adults over 60.
The challenge most organizations face is access. Knowing a program exists is not the same as having it delivered to the people who need it.
That's where we come in.
The Nutritionist and Nurse is a CDC Full Plus Recognized practice and an approved Medicare MDPP Supplier. We deliver the National Diabetes Prevention Program virtually — which means your employees or members can participate from anywhere, on a schedule that works for them, without disrupting their work or daily life.

Government and Public Health We work with municipal health departments, ACOs, and public health agencies to extend diabetes prevention into underserved populations.
