Take Control of
Your Blood Sugar
A personalized, science-backed approach to reversing insulin resistance and managing prediabetes and diabetes with confidence.
When Blood Sugar Feels Out of Control
You’ve been trying to make better choices, eating “healthy,” exercising more, cutting carbs, yet your labs keep moving in the wrong direction. Maybe your doctor mentioned prediabetes or insulin resistance and told you to watch your diet. But you’re not sure what that really means.
It’s wrong that people with prediabetes or diabetes are given generic advice when personalized nutrition strategies could dramatically improve their health, energy, and future.
You don’t have to accept that diabetes progression is inevitable. With the right approach, you can stabilize blood sugar, regain energy, and feel in control of your health again.
My doctor referred me to Martha to help lower my blood sugar. I expected a strict diet, but instead she made subtle changes and offered swaps I actually liked. My HbA1c dropped from 6.3 to 5.9, I lost 12 pounds, and both my doctor and I are thrilled. This feels sustainable.

Meet Martha, Your Expert in Diabetes Care
I’m Martha McKittrick, RD, Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist, and co-author of The Type 2 Diabetic Cookbook and Action Plan. For over 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of clients improve blood sugar, reduce A1C levels, and often avoid or reduce the need for medications through evidence-based, personalized strategies.
As a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist (CDCES), I bring advanced clinical training and experience to every client I work with. I understand the science of blood sugar regulation, medication interaction, and lifestyle management, but I also understand the emotions that are wrapped up in even hearing the word diabetes come from your doctor.
I’ve sat with countless people who felt scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do after hearing they are prediabetic. That fear is completely valid, and you don’t have to face it alone.
My approach is investigative and compassionate. I look beyond the numbers to uncover the real drivers of insulin resistance, from sleep to stress to nutrition timing, gut health, and inflammation. I’ll help you understand what’s going on in your body and create a plan that fits your real life. With virtual appointments, you’ve got a diabetes expert wherever you are.
My A1C rose from 5.6 to 6.0, putting me in the prediabetes range, so I reached out to Martha for help. She showed me how carbohydrates, portions, and food choices affect blood sugar and helped me create a realistic plan. Most importantly, she introduced me to a CGM and helped me interpret my data, so I could pinpoint glucose spikes and make targeted changes. With her guidance, my A1C dropped to 5.7 in six months, and I feel confident continuing to improve my blood sugar long term.

A Clear Path to
Better Metabolic
Health
STEP ONE
Investigate and Understand
I begin by doing a comprehensive review of your health background, including metabolic labs such as HbA1c and fasting glucose, family and medical history, weight trends, and current lifestyle patterns. I take a detailed look at your diet, exercise, sleep, and stress to identify habits that may affect blood sugar balance, such as portion sizes, macronutrient combinations, or meal timing. I never underestimate sleep and stress, which are a part of my investigation. This research and review allow me to pinpoint the root causes of imbalance and create a foundation for meaningful change.
STEP TWO
Create Your Personalized Strategy
Based on what we uncover, I’ll design a tailored plan to improve insulin sensitivity, stabilize blood sugar, and support long-term metabolic health. You’ll receive practical education on carbohydrate quality, portion balance, meal timing, and reading food labels with confidence. If you are already on medications, I will work with you to optimize your body’s response to medications.
With my diabetes care expertise, I’ll also help you understand how different foods, medications, and lifestyle habits interact so you can make informed, confident choices every day. If appropriate, I may recommend targeted supplementation or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as we fine-tune your plan.
Together, we’ll create a realistic, sustainable approach that fits your preferences, schedule, and goals.
STEP THREE
Implement with Ongoing Support
Follow-up sessions help to track progress, refine goals, and provide continued education and support. For clients who want a deeper understanding, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may also be recommended.
Though I am NYC-based, virtual appointments allow you to have expert guidance that is always within reach.
I was shocked when my doctor told me I was on the cusp of diabetes and suggested medication. Working with Martha helped me lower my HbA1c from 6.5 to 5.9 and lose 11 pounds. She tailored her recommendations to fit my lifestyle, and I now feel like I have a plan for life. And I was able to stay off medications!

Feel Strong, Focused, and in Control
Improved blood sugar control, lower A1C, better insulin sensitivity, increased energy, and often reduced or avoided medications. Confidence in your daily food choices, reduced fear of diabetes complications, and pride in taking charge of your health.
You are living proof that lifestyle and personalized nutrition can dramatically change your metabolic future.
This is not about perfection or restriction. It’s about learning how your body works and discovering how to support it naturally. With the right plan and support, you can live a healthy, vibrant life full of energy, freedom, and peace of mind.
I came to Martha with multiple health concerns, including osteoporosis, low energy, prediabetes, and high cholesterol, and I was struggling to put a plan together. Martha listened carefully and created an approach that fit my needs and lifestyle. I now feel much more energetic and stronger, and with her guidance I started working with a personal trainer. She made the plan simple and manageable, taking all of my concerns into account. I never could have done this on my own. I was so happy to see my HbA1c improve from 6.2 to 5.9.

What Happens If You Don’t Act
If your blood sugar continues to rise, so do the risks, including heart disease, nerve damage, vision problems, and other preventable complications. You might find yourself trying every restrictive diet, overwhelmed by your CGM results, and feeling more confused and frustrated than ever.
Your insulin resistance may progress to diabetes, medications may increase, and energy levels may drop even lower. You may feel anxiety about your future and regret not taking action sooner.
You may begin to accept that diabetes progression is inevitable when it isn’t.
You have the power to change your story starting today.

Ready to Take Charge of Your Metabolic Health?
You’ve already tried doing this alone. Now it’s time for expert guidance that feels personal, not clinical. I’ll help you uncover the real reasons behind your blood sugar struggles and build a plan that works for your body and your life. This is your moment to take your power back.
I’ve worked with Martha for over 20 years, and her guidance has made a lasting difference in my health. When I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, she helped me manage my blood sugar with diet alone so I didn’t need insulin. Over the years she has also helped me address issues like bloating, digestion, and weight gain with practical changes that fit my lifestyle. Martha listens carefully, understands my eating habits, and always offers advice that truly works for me.
