What does a mentor do? A mentor's duty is to provide a continuous source of comfort, encouragement, and support (both emotional and physical). A mentor may also act as an advocate. 

Usually, this word refers to someone who helps a woman during pregnancy, or childbirth, but why only for childbirth? A diabetes diagnosis is an equally sensitive time that comes with so many challenges and new things to learn.

Please know that mentors do not give medical advice. If you or your child has diabetes of any kind or pre-diabetes, you must get qualified medical advice about your condition from those who are trained and licensed to do that.

Your Diabetes Mentor session will be conducted online via Zoom videoconferencing software. It is very easy to use, and works on a computer, smartphone, or tablet. We will be able to talk to each other face to face.

This is not a typical coaching session where we support you to set goals and find solutions. Who can think of goals when your world has been turned upside down by diabetes!?

During this session, your mentor will share with you my most important lessons, references, and the ins and out's of diabetes. Our doulas have intimate personal experience with diabetes. 

During your Diabetes Mentor session, your mentor will share her experiences and guide you. But she will also listen and support you on your diabetes journey.

Once payment is received, we will send you a link to book your exclusive one-hour session. Please whitelist our email address: info@diapointme.com, and contact us for help if you do not see your booking link. 

• What type of doctor do I need? 
• What questions should I be asking my doctor? 
• What books and other resources can help me understand? 
• Where can I get all my supplies? 
• Outside of the medications my doctor has prescribed, do I need other special supplies? 
• How do I deal with my insurance?

If it's your child who has been diagnosed, we also answer questions like:

• How can I send my child to school safely? 

• Can my child play sports? 

• Will they live a normal, healthy life? 

• How do I deal with parties and other social situations?

Those are just some of the things people ask us during these sessions, but you can ask us anything. This is your time.
