Frequently Asked Questions
?
Can a diabetic care retreat replace my diabetes medication?
A diabetic care retreat works alongside your existing medical care and does not replace it, so insulin or oral medication continues exactly as prescribed and your usual doctor stays involved throughout. Any dose change must come from your treating physician.
?
What does a typical day at a diabetic care retreat involve?
A day at a diabetic care retreat includes fasting and post meal glucose checks, morning yoga, a measured breakfast, a short walk after each meal, a dietitian session and an evening doctor review. Menus are low glycaemic and fixed time.
?
How long should a diabetic care retreat be?
Ten to twenty one nights is the usual length for a diabetic care retreat, since HbA1c reflects roughly three months of glucose control and habit change needs at least two weeks of repetition. Seven night stays cover education only.
