About Help Your Diabetes of Oklahoma City
Help Your Diabetes of Oklahoma City specializes in comprehensive diabetes management and weight loss services for individuals living with Type 1, Type 2, and pre-diabetes. We understand the complex relationship between diabetes and weight management, providing specialized care that addresses both conditions simultaneously for optimal health outcomes.
Our medical team includes endocrinologists, certified diabetes educators, and registered dietitians who work collaboratively to create personalized treatment plans. We recognize that effective diabetes management often requires weight loss, and successful weight loss in diabetic patients requires specialized medical knowledge and careful monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive diabetes and weight management services include continuous glucose monitoring, insulin optimization, diabetic-friendly meal planning, and medical weight loss supervision. We utilize the latest technology including CGMs and insulin pumps to help patients achieve better glucose control while losing weight safely. Our certified diabetes educators provide extensive education on carbohydrate counting, medication timing, and blood sugar management during weight loss. We offer specialized weight loss programs using GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are particularly effective for diabetic patients. Our registered dietitians create meal plans that support both weight loss and blood sugar control, while our medical team adjusts medications as needed during your weight loss journey. We also provide comprehensive diabetes complications screening and management, ensuring your overall health is protected throughout the weight loss process. Regular A1C monitoring and medication adjustments are integral parts of our treatment approach.

Specialized program for insulin-dependent diabetics combining insulin pump therapy or optimized injection regimens with medically supervised weight loss and continuous glucose monitoring.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive diabetic evaluation including A1C testing, diabetic complications screening, and current medication review. We'll assess your diabetes management history, previous weight loss attempts, and any diabetic complications that might affect your weight loss plan.
Following your evaluation, we'll create a coordinated treatment plan addressing both diabetes management and weight loss goals. Regular follow-up appointments typically occur monthly to monitor blood sugar control, adjust medications, and track weight loss progress. We provide 24/7 access to our nursing staff for diabetes emergencies and questions about blood sugar management during your weight loss journey. Continuous glucose monitoring allows us to make real-time adjustments to optimize both glucose control and weight loss results.

Insurance & Pricing
Most major insurance plans cover diabetes management services including medical consultations, lab work, and diabetes education. Many insurance plans now cover GLP-1 medications for diabetes treatment, and weight loss benefits may be available depending on your specific plan. We work directly with insurance companies to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
Our billing specialists can help verify your coverage and explain any potential costs before beginning treatment. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and payment plan options. We believe cost should not be a barrier to effective diabetes and weight management care.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, gather all current diabetes medications, recent lab results, and blood glucose monitoring records. Bring your glucose meter and any continuous glucose monitor data to help us understand your current diabetes control. Continue taking all medications as prescribed unless specifically instructed otherwise by our medical team.
During treatment, monitor your blood sugar levels closely as weight loss can significantly affect glucose control and medication needs. Contact us immediately if you experience frequent low blood sugar episodes or any concerning symptoms. Follow all dietary recommendations carefully, as they're designed to support both weight loss and optimal blood sugar control. Attend all scheduled appointments and lab draws to ensure safe medication adjustments throughout your weight loss journey.
