Hi! I am Clarissa Orona RD, LD
I will be hosting both the carbohydrate counting and Lunch Bites: Diabetes classes! I have taught diabetes classes for the last 5 years and work with individual patients on managing their blood sugars on a daily basis!
I am passionate about education, practical application and preventing complications that are associated with increased blood sugar levels. My classes are meant to be interactive, lighthearted and filled with information that you can apply to your life right now!
