Nutrition can be one part of care for an existing health condition. Health is influenced by many factors; food is not the cause of every illness, and a nutrition plan cannot promise recovery.
What nutrition support includes
- Review your usual meals, preferences and practical difficulties.
- Adapt meal planning to an existing diagnosis and the advice of your medical team.
- Discuss meal timing and carbohydrate choices within an agreed diabetes care plan.
- Coordinate questions about symptoms, medicines and test results with your clinician.
This service provides nutrition education and practical support. Diagnosis, prescribing and changes to insulin or other medication remain with your medical team. Goals and outcomes vary between people.
