Diabetes can be confusing, overwhelming, and far too often explained in ways that are difficult to use in everyday life.
My goal as a Diabetes Wellness Speaker, Educator, Diabetes Author, and Coach is to make diabetes easier to understand and more practical to live with.
I bring real-world experience, plain-English explanations, and useful takeaways that people can apply long after the presentation is over.
Who I Speak To
I work with a variety of organizations and community groups, including:
- Senior centers
- Community organizations
- Businesses and employee wellness programs
- Wellness groups
- Support groups
- Schools and educational organizations
- Health fairs and community events
- Organizations looking to provide practical diabetes education
Programs can be designed for people living with diabetes, caregivers, family members, employees, or broader community audiences.
What Makes My Presentations Different
I do not believe people need another lecture filled with medical terminology.
They need information they can understand and use.
My presentations focus on practical, real-life situations such as:
- Grocery shopping
- Eating at restaurants
- Family gatherings
- Stress
- Exercise and movement
- Daily routines
- Understanding glucose patterns
- Staying consistent
- Making healthier choices without trying to be perfect
I also encourage questions and audience participation all throughout the presentation. The goal is for people to leave with a better understanding of diabetes and practical ideas they can use in their own lives.
Presentation Topics
Programs can be customized around the needs of your organization and audience. Topics may include:
- Understanding diabetes in plain English
- Nutrition and everyday food choices
- Exercise and movement
- Stress and its effect on glucose
- Understanding CGM patterns and trends
- Healthy aging and longevity with diabetes
- Eating out and managing real-life situations
- Building healthier daily routines
- Staying consistent when life gets busy
- Understanding the importance of Education, Nutrition, Exercise, and Consistency
My Four-Pillar Approach
Education
Helping people better understand diabetes and why certain choices may affect their health.
Nutrition
Making food choices easier to understand and more realistic for everyday life.
Exercise
Showing how practical movement can support overall health and diabetes wellness.
Consistency
Helping people understand that lasting progress usually comes from realistic habits repeated over time.
In-Person and Virtual Programs
I am based in Connecticut, but speaking opportunities are not limited to Connecticut.
Programs can be offered virtually for organizations and groups across the U.S. and beyond, and having me travel to your location for an in-person presentation is always an option.
Whether the program is virtual or in person, my goal is the same: to provide practical, easy-to-understand diabetes education that connects with your audience and gives people useful information they can take with them.
What Your Organization Can Expect
When you invite me to speak, I work to make the experience straightforward and useful for your audience.
Depending on the program, that may include:
- A presentation tailored to your audience
- Clear, easy-to-understand information
- Practical examples and takeaways
- Audience interaction and questions
- Time for Q&A
- A focus on realistic changes rather than perfection
My goal is to create an educational experience that feels useful, welcoming, and relevant to everyday life.
Ready to Bring Dave to Your Group?
If you are planning a wellness program, community event, educational session, or speaking engagement, I would be happy to talk with you about your audience and what you would like to accomplish.
Diabetes wellness presentations are educational in nature and do not replace medical care, diagnosis, or treatment from a licensed healthcare provider.
