Managing diabetes starts with the right nutrition plan

Diabetes is one of the most nutrition-sensitive conditions you can have — and one of the most manageable with the right guidance. Whether you were just diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for years, a registered dietitian can help you build a sustainable eating plan that stabilizes your blood sugar without giving up the foods you love.

Rawaa Khalil Elabbassi, MS, RDN, LD has specialized in diabetes nutrition for years, working with patients across Sugar Land and the greater Houston area. She takes a practical, culturally sensitive approach — no rigid meal plans, no shame, just real strategies that fit your life.
