Diabetes Coaching and Support Program

Recently diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes? You don't have to manage it on your own. A diagnosis often brings a lot of questions. At our Pointe-Claire clinic in Montreal's West Island, our nurse offers personalized diabetes education and support to help you understand your condition, build lasting habits and stay on track. We move forward together, at your pace, with regular follow-ups.

How We Support You

Understanding Your Diagnosis
We take the time to explain what diabetes or prediabetes is, clearly and simply, and answer all your questions.

Eating Better, Without Changing Everything at Once
Together, we identify small, practical changes that fit your tastes, your schedule and your reality.

Moving More, at Your Level
We set realistic physical activity goals with you and adjust them as you progress.

Tracking Your Progress
We help you understand your results, such as your HbA1c and blood sugar, and see how far you’ve come from one follow-up to the next. We can also help you apply your continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor to your arm.

Caring for Your Long-term Health
We guide you on the right habits to protect your feet, eyes, kidneys and heart, and on the screenings not to miss.

Living Well Every Day
Stress, sleep, motivation, mental health: we address everything that shapes your daily life, so changes last.
