Patients are not required to have a referral from a medical doctor in order to join the program.
Patients must see a medical doctor and undergo a thorough physical exam to determine eligibility for our diet program.
Patients with diabetes are signed up for group sessions with the MD, who specializes in diabetes management.
This helps patients gain a better understanding about:
changes in their diabetes throughout the diet,
how to manage it,
monitor their medications,
and support each other.

We offer consultations with our registered dietitian, who is well versed in this diet protocol to address in greater detail:
*specific questions about which foods to eat and what not to eat,
*create more individualized dietary plans, especially in cases where patients may have
sensitivities to multiple foods in the diet plan and/or are vegan or vegetarian
Although this is not an OHIP covered service, our dietitian offers group sessions at a lower cost to each patient. This is beneficial to those who would like to join, but do not have extended work benefits.
