Diabetes Dietitian - Virtual Nutrition Counseling
Managing diabetes is a full-time job you never applied for, and a diabetes dietitian can make that job a whole lot easier. At Janel Funk Nutrition and Wellness, we help you understand your blood sugar, enjoy your food, and feel confident at the table again, whether you were diagnosed last month or twenty years ago.
If you have been searching for a diabetes dietitian near me and coming up short on availability or insurance fit, our virtual practice brings expert care straight to your kitchen table. Beth Eckert, RD, CDCES leads our diabetes work as a certified diabetes care and education specialist, supported by Janel Funk, MS, RD, LDN.
Virtual Diabetes Care That Fits Real Life
Generic diabetes advice tends to sound the same: cut carbs, lose weight, try harder. If that advice actually worked, you would not be here. Our diabetes nutrition counseling looks different because it is built around you: your labs, your medications, your culture, your budget, and your real Tuesday night dinner routine. Virtual sessions mean expert diabetes management support fits into your week, not the other way around. We see clients by secure video across the states we serve, and in person at our Natick, Massachusetts office.
Insurance Accepted for Diabetes Counseling
We are in-network with most major insurance plans, and diabetes nutrition counseling is one of the most commonly covered services we provide. The majority of our clients use their benefits with little to no out-of-pocket cost, and we verify your benefits before your first session so there are no surprises.
Support for Type 2 Diabetes and Beyond
Most of our clients come to us as a type 2 diabetes dietitian resource, and many arrive feeling like they have failed. You have not failed. Type 2 diabetes is influenced by genetics, stress, sleep, hormones, and dozens of factors beyond willpower. Our job is to help you work with your body instead of fighting it, one realistic step at a time.
What We Work On Together
Every diabetes dietitian on our team takes a practical, judgment free approach. Here is what our work together can include:
Blood Sugar Patterns: Decode your numbers and learn what your body is actually telling you after meals, workouts, and stressful days.
Carb Confidence: Stop fearing carbohydrates and start using them strategically for steadier energy and better readings.
Medication and Food: Coordinate your eating with your medications or insulin so everything works together, not against you.
Technology Support: Get help making sense of continuous glucose monitor data without becoming obsessed with every blip.
Heart Health: A food first approach to the cholesterol and blood pressure goals that often travel with diabetes.
Real Life Eating: Restaurant meals, holidays, and birthday cake all have a place in your plan, because a plan you can not live with is not a plan.
Certified Diabetes Expertise: Your care is led by a certified diabetes care and education specialist, the advanced credential in diabetes management.
And much more. Book a free discovery call to explore how we can support your goals.
Why Work With Our Team
When you work with a diabetes dietitian on our team, you get more than nutrition tips. You get a partner who reviews your labs, celebrates your wins, troubleshoots your hard weeks, and adjusts the plan as your life changes. Our philosophy is nutrition by addition: we focus on what to add to your plate rather than what to take away, because restriction does not last but nourishment does.
