Nutrition and Diabetes counseling

MDI and Pump Setting Adjustments
Learn how to use your pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM) reports to understand YOUR diabetes: fine-tune your settings (carb ratios, correction factors, basal rates), how you respond to your food and exercise, and what to do with all the information to reduce the swings and to cut out the mind-games.

T1DNewly Diagnosed with Type 1
“I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2017 and from the beginning I was determined to stay healthy but despite my efforts I struggled to manage my blood sugar. Ariel has done an incredible job in helping me to understand T1D and how diet and exercise affect my blood glucose levels. She’s taught me how to use my insulin pump much more effectively and with her help I have been able to maintain a lower A1C.”

T1DDown to 6.1% and 98% TIR!!
“My A1C results are in….(drum roll)…lol.
6.1% Best Ever and 98% Time in Range! I am so happy and proud of this 🙂 It was 6.7% when we started 5 months ago and now it’s down 0.6. And this was all while eating my favorite foods like pancakes, spaghetti with garlic bread, and cheesy pasta. That is so awesome!
Jen Z
T1D6.3% to 5.2% in 3 Months
“Working with Ariel has finally given me the experience of relating to another Type 1 with similar goals as mine that I have always been searching for! Working with her has helped me grow independently with my diabetes care! She helps make the day to day stress of living with Type 1 Diabetes somewhat less stressful! I am so thankful to be working with her! :)”
Natalie S
T1DFrom 7.9% Down to Best Ever 6.3%!
I have had T1D for over 40 years. Diagnosed in my early 20s, I never received any formal diabetes education. The best A1c I ever had was 7.9. Now my most recent A1c was 6.3, thanks to Ariel. I never dreamed that would even be possible. I discovered Ariel with Above Diabetes on You Tube. The fact that she has had TID for over 30 years and the way she explains things, made me know that this is exactly the person I needed to help me. She told me she has heard and/or lived every story, and I believe she has. All those years, I felt powerless to control my illness. With Ariel’s help, my relationship with T1D has changed. I love the way she uses metaphors to explain things that finally make sense, such as the reason to do that pre-bolus. She talked about the grass and the wildfire that happens when you eat without pre-bolusing. Now that I can actually visualize what that does, as well as actually see it on my graphs that she explains to me, suddenly it’s worth the effort to do it. Ariel has so much compassion, she makes me feel like we’re in this together.

Jen C
T1D8.2% to 6.4% in 3 Months
“Before beginning to work with Ariel Warren, my previous HA1c results were 8.2 and higher. After just 3 months of weekly coaching I am proud to say that my latest HA1c came in at 6.4!
Ariel makes available a unique and curated set of skills to her clients. She is professionally certified, understands the science and is a high personal achiever…yet she is somehow able to adapt to the specific needs of her client, gently meet them where they are, and invite them into a series of attainable personal victories and greater health.”

T1DLost 52 lbs & My HbA1c Down to 5.5%
“Today, after 4 months working Ariel, I’m down 52 lbs, I’ve reversed my diabetes. My doctor not only took me off the diabetic list, but even the pre-diabetic list! I don’t take any metformin and I sit at a 5.5% A1c.”
Lynn C
T2D100% Time in Range for 7 Days
“I started working with Ariel when I switched to the T-Slim X2 pump with Control IQ. Working together has become the highlight of my week. Together, we work on getting my profiles accurate (basals, carb ratios, correction factors), and we work on my nutrition, exercise, stress, sick days, my COVID19 fears, traveling, and any other personal struggles. Ariel has an amazing work ethic and overall goal to make your diabetes management less of a burden so it leaves you more freedom to live your life. She is now a personal friend.”
