Additional Patient Services

Nutrition Counseling

Our registered dietician teaches diabetes self-management and provides medical nutrition therapy. We offer dietary recommendations based on the latest guidelines and tailored to your other medical conditions, cultural food preferences, and personal circumstances. We perform a personalized assessment, identify any triggers for unhealthy eating and individualized meal plans, and provide  other services.

Insulin Pump Therapy

An insulin pump continuously infuses rapid-acting insulin. It allows for particular fine-tuning of your regimen and eliminates the need for insulin injections. We can help you manage your insulin pump and can advise you whether you would be a good candidate to start pump therapy.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

A relatively new technology, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an addition to the better known skin prick tests that you probably use to check your own  blood glucose levels. CGM uses under-the-skin sensors to measure glucose levels continuously, 24 hours a day. Whether ‘blind' (providing blood glucose readings to be read and interpreted later by the doctor) or in real-time, CGM can provide useful information about how medication, food, and exercise are affecting your blood glucose levels. This allows us to make adjustments to prevent your glucose levels from becoming too high or too low. Our staff can use CGM devices and interpret readings.

Diabetes Prevention Program/Viva Fitness

Working together with the YMCA of Greater New York, we offer the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program (YDPP), with the goal of reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes through education and motivation. We have designed this program for adults who are at risk for diabetes or who have a diagnosis of prediabetes. As part of the program, you will meet with a trained health coach from YDPP, to learn about healthy eating, physical activity, overcoming stress and staying on track to meet your health goals in a comfortable group setting. To help you stay motivated and focused on reaching your physical activity goals, we offer Viva Fitness, a dance-inspired, light exercise program that will have you moving to the music in a friendly, fun environment.

High-Risk Ob/Gyn Program

We work with doctors in obstetrics/gynecology departments throughout the Mount Sinai Health System to provide diabetes education to pregnant women with diabetes. We also we help you and your family adjust to the challenges of gestational diabetes.
