Managing diabetes is a daily effort, and nutrition is one of the most powerful tools in that journey. Yet, for too many, accessing professional nutrition guidance is a major challenge. That’s why Fay is proud to announce our partnership with DiaTribe, a leading voice and resource for the diabetes community. Together, we are committed to raising awareness and promoting the critical role of nutrition counseling in diabetes care.
The Problem: A Critical Gap in Diabetes Care
The numbers are staggering. Over 130 million adults in the U.S. are living with diabetes or prediabetes, conditions where nutrition plays a decisive role in health outcomes. Medical Nutrition Therapy, the formal term for nutrition counseling with a Registered Dietitian, is a proven, effective part of any diabetes management plan.
Research shows that people who receive Medical Nutrition Therapy can lower their A1C by a significant 1-2%—an impact comparable to some medications.
Despite this, a massive gap exists. Less than 10% of people living with diabetes made even one nutrition visit within a nine-year period. This isn't due to a lack of motivation - it's because of barriers like complex referral processes, trouble finding a specialist, and confusion about insurance coverage.
Why This Partnership Matters: Amplifying a Vital Message
Our collaboration with DiaTribe is focused on tackling this problem head-on by amplifying one clear message: getting nutrition help should be easy. Our partnership is built on a shared mission to:
- Educate: Share clear, actionable information about the profound benefits of nutrition counseling for everyone living with diabetes.
- Advocate: Champion the essential role of Registered Dietitians as a core part of the diabetes care team.
- Empower: Break down the barriers that prevent people from getting the support they need, connecting them with resources and care.
A Registered Dietitian provides personalized guidance that goes far beyond simply "eating less sugar"—they help create sustainable habits and offer real-world strategies for everything from grocery shopping to timing meals effectively. DiaTribe’s work in providing insights and “making sense of diabetes” is a perfect complement to Fay’s mission of making this expert care accessible and affordable.
Looking Ahead: A Healthier Future, Together
Our work with DiaTribe reinforces a core belief: managing a chronic condition shouldn't be something you do alone. By raising awareness and making the path to a dietitian clearer, we can help millions of people with diabetes feel better and live healthier lives.
We are incredibly excited to partner with DiaTribe and look forward to building a future where getting nutrition help is not the exception, but the standard.
