You’re not alone. Living with diabetes can feel like a constant balancing act, juggling food choices, blood sugar, energy, and the pressure to “get it right.”

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it perfectly (or do it alone).

At Balance and Bite, we take a non-diet, shame-free approach to diabetes care.
We look beyond carb counting to help you understand your body, build flexible habits, and manage insulin resistance or HbA1c (without cutting out the foods you love)

Ready to feel more in control and less overwhelmed? We’re here to help.

How Our Diabetes Dietitians Can Help

Feel like everyone's telling you something different to manage your diabetes you're right? Let's clarify what, when and how much to eat (without strict rules)

BGLs jumping all over the place and you have no idea why? We'll help you understand which foods to eat and with what to reduce the risk of extreme highs and lows

Maybe you already know what to eat, and the real battle is implementing the strategies. We'll help you make changes with simple and doable tips

Being diagnosed with diabetes can amplify emotional eating leading to frustrating coping mechanisms, often evolving to eating disorders. We work together to identify triggers and implement healthier strategies.
