Maria Kennedy, RD

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in December 2023. My A1C was 7.9! I knew my diet wasn't very good and filled with carbs and sugars. I told my doctor that I wanted to try to fix my diet first before getting on any kind of medication. I found Maria coincidentally through my son who works at Walgreens. He called me from work to tell me how he met her and I immediately started crying. She was a nutritionist that specializes in diabetes. I immediately made an appointment and met her at her office. She printed off multiple charts on good and bad foods. She individualized my diet plan for the week after discussing my favorite foods. I limited my carbs to 15 g per meal. She also helped me get started on checking my blood sugars before eating and 2 hours after I started eating. At my next doctor's appointment my A1C was 5.9! I just had a checkup today and my A1C was 5.5! I reversed my diabetes!! I give all my thanks to Maria for helping me to eat healthier.

Very negative experience working with this dietician for GD. On consultation call she was very rushed and did not listen to my lifestyle or needs. In the past 2 months of working with her and tracking my sugars daily, each time I reach out with questions or my concerns she is very dismissive and her feedback typically is stating how my blood sugars are interesting and not normal reactions, but does not try to work with me to understand more. After a few messages of advising her of sugars WELL outside of range, her support is sending me an article and saying there are lots of factors, like sleep and stress. I am incredibly disappointed in her services and will be recommending my dr. to partner with someone else in the future.
