If Your Doctor Only Checks HbA1c, They’re Already Behind

How Does Your Provider Measure Diabetes?

For too long, diabetes care has been stuck in an outdated loop: check your HbA1c, start a diet, and recheck in three months. When numbers don’t improve, medication is introduced. When that doesn’t work, doses are increased or new meds are added.

That’s the old school of thought.

In Functional Medicine, we take a different approach—one rooted in science, results, and the body-mind connection.

We begin by checking not just HbA1c, but fasting insulin and leptin. We get a DEXA scan to evaluate android fat at baseline. And we teach you which foods in your kitchen are driving those insulin spikes in the first place.

Every six weeks, we repeat the DEXA to track progress and keep you accountable—not guess based on labs alone.

We add tools: appetite support, resistance training 4–5x/week, and hormone optimization when appropriate to build muscle and reduce insulin-resistant fat.

Then, we go even deeper.

With Biological Decoding, we explore the emotional patterns and subconscious programming that may be sabotaging your choices and motivation. Because real healing doesn’t happen with medication alone.

21st-century medicine isn’t about managing disease—it’s about reversing it.

So I’ll ask again:
How does your provider measure up?
