What is Diabetes Coaching?

Diabetes coaching means different things to different people. In simplest terms, it represents a team of diabetes experts that provides you with personal attention, expert guidance and individualized support towards a healthier and happier life with diabetes.

By free online coaching we mean access to videos providing coaching advice (our short FAQ series and longer monthly Webinars) and personal diabetes stories of coaching experiences.

Fitness, Exercise & Training

You don't have to be an athlete to benefit from a customized fitness program or expert fitness training advice. A healthy lifestyle begins with consistent exercise. This becomes even more important for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Your Fit4D coaching team will include exercise physiologists and personal trainers that will help you develop the right mix of cardiovascular exercise, strength training and daily stretching that is right for you and your health goals.

Diet, Nutrition & Weight Loss

Healthy habits form the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. No habit is more critical to controlling your Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes than your diet. A healthy diet helps you lose weight, control your blood glucose levels, and provide your body with the energy it needs during exercise. Each Fit4D coaching team includes a professional dietitian that will help you develop a personalized recipe for healthier eating and appropriate weight loss.

Blood Glucose Management

Whether you have just been diagnosed, or you've been navigating your Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes for years, monitoring and controlling your blood glucose levels are critical daily activities. Exercise, travel, training or even the holiday seasons can add to this challenge. Every member of your Fit4D coaching team is a trained diabetes expert with years of experience in balancing and maintaining healthy BG levels. They will advise and support you when you need it most.

Motivation & Emotional Support

Sometimes the secret to a successful day with diabetes is simply a friend to talk to, some warm encouragement or a little sage advice to go spend some quality time with your family. Your Fit4D coaching team is available to you for just those moments where some friendly words of encouragement, moral support and expert advice might make the difference between a good or bad day. Like you, many of our coaches live with diabetes live with the challenges of diabetes on a daily basis and understand the challenges that go with it.

A1c & Other Results Management

Exciting new advances in managing your diabetes at home are increasing the importance of accurate day-to- day testing and measurement.
