It suits you if

Some states, such as Florida and Illinois, allow only licensed professionals to give individual nutrition care for a diagnosed condition.

Diabetes care in the US

Type 2 diabetes and Indian food in the US

The American Diabetes Association advises testing adults of Asian ancestry at a lower BMI (23 rather than 25) when they have other risk factors. A national study found diagnosed diabetes in 8.3% of Asian Indian adults, compared with 5.8% of non-Hispanic white adults (age- and sex-adjusted, 2012 to 2016).

Alongside your US care team

In the US your primary care doctor or specialist diagnoses and treats the condition, and may refer you to a registered dietitian. DietXP does not replace that care. We help you turn your care team’s advice into Indian meals you can keep up at home.

Indian food in the US

Indian groceries are easy to find in places such as New Jersey, the Bay Area, Chicago’s Devon Avenue and Houston, and most supermarkets stock rice, lentils and spices. We also plan for large restaurant portions, takeout and long commutes.

Practical details

  • India is 9½ hours ahead of Eastern time and 12½ hours ahead of Pacific time during daylight saving, one hour more in winter. We book at a time that suits you.
  • Fees are in USD and are the full amount you pay.
  • In an emergency call 911.

If you have Medicare

Medicare Part B covers medical nutrition therapy with a registered dietitian for people with diabetes when a doctor refers you. DietXP can sit alongside that, with a focus on Indian meals, portions and family cooking.

Nutrition education and practical food support. Diagnosis, medicines and medical treatment stay with your treating team.

Getting ready

What to have ready for your first consultation

You do not need to send reports before booking. We tell you how to share them before your first consultation.

  • Your latest HbA1c (%) and glucose readings in mg/dL
  • Visit summaries and lab results from your doctor or patient portal
  • Your medicines, including insulin doses and timings
  • Any low sugar episodes: when they happened and what you had eaten
  • What you eat on a usual day, including tea, snacks and sweets

Type 2 diabetes support in the US: your questions answered

Do I have to stop eating rice or roti?

Not automatically. Portions, meal combinations and your individual care plan matter. Your DietXP nutrition educator and your treating team can help you work through what is appropriate for you.

How much do the type 2 diabetes programmes cost in the US?

Core (3 months) is USD 360 and Extended (6 months) is USD 685. These are the full prices, with nothing added when you pay.

What does each programme include?

Both start with a first consultation and a written food plan within 2 working days. Core adds 3 scheduled follow-ups and WhatsApp support during agreed hours. Extended adds 6 follow-ups, priority WhatsApp support, a nutrition progress assessment at 90 days and a full progress report at 180 days.

How do I pay?

After we confirm your booking in writing, we send the payment details on WhatsApp or by email. You pay the fee in USD; payment goes to DietXP in India, so your bank may add a cross-border fee.

When will I get my written plan?

Within 2 working days of your first consultation. Your follow-ups, booked on US time, then review how it is going and adjust the plan.

Which languages can I use?

English, Kannada, Tamil or Telugu, with Chandan. If you would prefer Hindi, tell us when you message us and we will tell you the options.

What time are the sessions?

India is 9½ hours ahead of Eastern time and 12½ hours ahead of Pacific time during daylight saving, one hour more in winter. We book at a time that suits you.

Can I reduce or stop diabetes medicines?

Only your prescribing clinician should change medicines. Do not reduce or stop them because you start a nutrition programme or see a different glucose reading.

Is fasting or a very low-carbohydrate diet required?

No. Major changes to meals or fasting can affect glucose and may be unsafe with insulin or some medicines. Discuss them with your treating team before making changes.

Is this suitable for type 1 or pregnancy diabetes?

No. This programme is for adults with type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes and diabetes in pregnancy need support from the appropriate specialist team.

Should I keep seeing my doctor and diabetes educator?

Yes. Keep your A1C checks, medicine reviews and eye and foot exams. We help with everyday Indian meals between visits and never change medicines.

Will my US health insurance cover this?

No. DietXP is a private online service from India and is not billed to US insurance. Many plans, and Medicare for people with diabetes or kidney disease, cover visits with a registered dietitian, so check with your insurer if you need that.

Can my family join?

Yes. The person who cooks or helps with meals is welcome on your calls, whether they live in the US or in India. If you are contacting us for someone else, please let them know. We ask for their agreement before we discuss their health.

What happens when my programme ends?

You can finish there or ask about continuing. We explain the options and the fee before you book anything new.

Your doctor stays in charge

Keep following your clinician’s glucose-monitoring and low-glucose plan. Seek urgent local help for severe symptoms. We do not change medicines or manage glucose emergencies, and we do not claim to reverse or cure diabetes.
