Nutrition for Prediabetes & Blood Sugar Concerns
Looking for a dietitian who can help you understand your blood sugar and take steps toward reversing prediabetes?
Maybe you’ve just been told you have prediabetes. Maybe your A1C has been creeping up, and you’re not sure what to do.
Either way, you are in the right place.
The dietitians at Well Balanced Nutrition are here to help you sort through the nutrition noise and feel more confident about your food choices.
You might be here because…
- Your doctor recently told you that you have prediabetes.
- Your A1C or fasting blood sugar has been creeping up.
- You’ve been told you have insulin resistance and aren’t sure what that means for your health.
- You’re worried about developing type 2 diabetes and want to be proactive.
- You’ve been told to “watch your carbs,” but you’re not exactly sure what that means.
- You’ve cut out “white foods” but aren’t sure if that’s really helping.
- You want to improve your blood sugar without completely changing the way you eat.
- You have a lot of nutrition advice coming at you and aren’t sure what actually applies to you.

What can nutrition coaching help with?
Our nutrition coaches are registered dietitians who provide medical nutrition therapy and nutrition counseling to help you:
Build balanced meals
Learn what to pair carbohydrates with to create satisfying meals that support blood sugar.
Make sense of carbohydrates
You don’t have to fear or eliminate carbs. We’ll help you understand portions, types, and how to include them in a balanced eating pattern.
Increase protein and fiber
Find simple, realistic ways to get more of the nutrients that can help with fullness, meal balance, and overall health.
Create a more consistent eating pattern
Move away from skipping meals, getting overly hungry, and then feeling like you’ve “blown it.”
Support weight-related goals
If weight loss is part of your goal, we’ll help you approach it without making weight the only measure of success.
Navigate everyday eating
Restaurants, travel, busy workdays, family meals, weekends…we help you gain confidence in all these real-life scenarios.
