Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)

Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a medical approach to the treatment of chronic conditions through the development and use of a nutrition plan that is tailored to the individual. It is typically the primary care physician who orders and approves the nutrition plan, which is then administered by a registered dietician.

Healthy Meal Planning

A healthy meal plan will lower your risk for heart disease and a variety of other health conditions.

Blood Glucose Monitoring

Blood glucose monitoring uses a meter. The blood sugar meter measures the amount of glucose in a small sample of blood, usually from the fingertip and placed on a small disposable test strip.

Medication Education

Medication education is designed to help patients learn about their medication and how to properly manage it. This includes learning the names of the medications they are on, what each type of medication does for them, and when and how to take it.

Vascular Evaluation

Vascular studies are tests that check the blood flow in your arteries and veins. These tests are noninvasive, instead using high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow in your blood vessels.

Insulin Instruction

Insulin instruction is required to teach a person how to mix and administer an insulin injection. This includes instructing the patient who has diabetes on self-administration of insulin, as well as any family members that may be required to provide an emergency injection.
