What our clients say about Lakeland Diabetes and Nutrition:
“After a year of researching and applying my own methods in an effort to be healthier through nutrition, I hit a discouraging plateau. It wasn’t until I began working with registered dietitian, Monique Miller, that I began to achieve renewed results towards my goals. Trusting Monique’s easy to understand advice on healthy eating has reinvigorated my efforts as I move towards achieving optimal health.” - Steve Adler
“When I was admitted from the ER for an emergent gallbladder removal, I was found to be diabetic. My A1c was over 16% and I had no idea. The care manager in the hospital communicated with my primary care provider and I was referred to Lakeland Diabetes and Nutrition. In a matter of 3 months, my blood sugar was at normal levels. I learned so much and had the support I needed during such a scary time. I am so grateful to have regained my health and know how to manage my diabetes.” – Sylvie A.
