Twin Cities Hospital’s Diabetes Education Program accepts Medicare and most insurance plans when education is recommended by your physician.  Simply ask your physician for a referral and call 850-729-9480 to schedule an appointment.

Available with a physician referral, Nutritional Counseling is available in the outpatient setting for various medical therapies such as:

  • Eating disorders
  • Special medical diets
  • Weight gain
  • Weight loss

At your first appointment, our Registered Dietician records your medical and personal history and gathers information about your lifestyle, food choices, and preferences.  With this information, the dietician develops an in-depth nutritional analysis.  Realistic recommendations—with achievable diet and lifestyle changes—are made, and your progress to better nutrition is monitored.  To schedule a nutritional counseling appointment, obtain your physician’s referral and call 850-729-9480.
