Feel Better. Balance Your Blood Sugar. Live with Confidence.
Real People. Real Results.
If you are living with prediabetes, insulin resistance, elevated A1C, or Type 2 diabetes, managing your health should not feel confusing, restrictive, or overwhelming.
At Walsh Nutrition Group, our Registered Dietitians and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES) provide personalized Medical Nutrition Therapy designed to help you better understand your blood sugar, improve daily energy, and build eating habits that support long-term health.
Rather than handing you another restrictive diet, we help you understand how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, activity, and daily routines so you can make confident decisions that fit your lifestyle.
In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna Illinois, and Medicare Part B for qualifying conditions. Virtual appointments are available throughout Illinois, with select in-person visits serving Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, and the greater Chicago area.

Feel Better by Understanding Your Blood Sugar
Constant fatigue, foggy afternoons, food cravings, and sudden energy crashes are not things you simply have to live with. They may be signs that your body’s fuel system needs better support.
When blood sugar rises and falls throughout the day, it can affect far more than your lab results. It can influence your energy, hunger, cravings, mood, sleep, weight, and overall sense of well-being.
At Walsh Nutrition Group, we help you move away from guesswork and toward a clearer understanding of your body. With personalized nutrition counseling, lab review, and Continuous Glucose Monitor guidance when appropriate, we help you identify patterns and build realistic strategies for steadier blood sugar.

What’s Included in Your Nutrition Program
Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment
Your first appointment includes a review of your medical history, medications, current eating habits, laboratory results, lifestyle, and health goals. From there, we create a personalized care plan designed around your needs.
Laboratory Review
Lab work can feel overwhelming when no one has taken the time to explain what the numbers mean. We review important health markers such as A1C, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other relevant labs in clear, understandable language.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring, When Appropriate
A Continuous Glucose Monitor, or CGM, can provide real-time insight into how your glucose levels respond throughout the day.
When appropriate, we may recommend a CGM to better understand how meals, snacks, activity, stress, sleep, and daily routines influence your blood sugar. This can help you see patterns more clearly and make informed decisions with guidance from your dietitian.
A CGM is not required for every patient, but for many people, it can be a powerful tool for understanding their body.
Personalized Meal Planning
We help you develop realistic nutrition strategies that balance carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and fiber without eliminating the foods you enjoy.
Our goal is not to make you afraid of carbs. Instead, we help you learn how to build meals and snacks that support steadier blood sugar, better energy, and long-term consistency.
Practical Blood Sugar Strategies
Small changes can make a meaningful difference. Depending on your needs, we may work on meal timing, food pairing, protein at breakfast, fiber intake, hydration, grocery shopping, restaurant meals, snack choices, and food sequencing.
Food sequencing may include simple strategies such as eating vegetables and protein before higher-carbohydrate foods to help support a smoother blood sugar response.
Ongoing Coaching
Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor progress, answer questions, adjust your nutrition plan, review glucose patterns when available, and support lasting lifestyle changes.
You do not have to figure this out alone. We are here to help you make steady, realistic progress.
