Diabetes Therapy

The FUTURE of
​DIABETES CARE

Complete diabetes care is multi-dimensional. It includes physical fitness, proper nutrition, blood sugar mitigation, stress management, mental health, and energy levels. 

​To optimize diabetes health, we must empower the individual by inspiring autonomy in self-care. When a person knows how to make themselves feel better, with a clear mind, they will respond to diabetes' demands more appropriately from a place of LOVE instead of FEAR or AVERSION. 

Yoga therapy is applied to the person living with diabetes, not just the disease. Every single person is unique. Their needs, goals, type of diabetes and duration of diabetes are all distinct. ​

The Facts

Diabetes is much more common than you may realize: 
​
  • 34.2 million Americans, or 10.5% of the population, have a type of diabetes.
  • Nearly 1.6 million Americans have type 1 diabetes, including about 187,000 children and adolescents.
  • 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year.
  • Eighty-eight million American adults have pre-diabetes.
​
It costs A LOT! - The annual cost of Diabetes in the United States - including the cost of diagnosis, loss of productivity, and direct medical costs-was upwards of 650 BILLION dollars a year!

Although diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States, the leading cause of death in people with diabetes is heart disease. 

People with diabetes are 50% more likely to develop anxiety and depressive disorders. 

Despite medical advances only 50% of people with diabetes are able to achieve the ADA's recommendation of an A1c under 7.0%. 

The metric which largely determines the risk of developing co-morbidities. Although A1c is not the only measurement to assess how well a person is thriving with diabetes, it is useful. 

This statistic has baffled doctors and psychologists for decades. Bottom line, diabetes is a SELF-CARE disease, which means that when a person leaves the doctor's office, it is up to them to do the work. Whether it is a child or adolescent without maturity or an adult with a lifetime of learned behavior patterns, the responsibility falls in the person's hands with diabetes.

Testimonials

Dawn Browning, Ph.D., 500 RYT, T1D

Evan’s devotion to serving others through yoga is exceptional. She masters yogic teachings and brings them to life through the day-to-day experience thriving with diabetes. In her course, Evan artfully presents potent practices with situational awareness that comes from self-study and personal experience with type 1 diabetes. I am more thoughtful in my daily actions and consequently, spend more time in my optimal blood glucose range after taking Evan’s course and living my yoga.

Gail Sacco, T1D

"I've had type 1 diabetes for almost 35 years and had the privilege of studying with Evan as part of the Rise Above Diabetes program. I learned that I am not a diabetic, but a person who has diabetes. Yoga and breath center and calm me, which helps manage my numbers.

Evan helped me be courageous because she is courageous. Her passion for living her life became a role model for me. I continue to work with my breath and to explore Yoga as a consequence of studying with Evan, and I am living a more active life."

Katy Frisch, Owner and President of Arrow Communications Labs, LADA

"As a newly diagnosed adult Type 1 diabetic, I have entered an entirely new world of health management. I’m a science and data driven person, and while carb counting is easy for me, I could not get my arms around how to manage to less measurable aspects of my health, such as stress. Evan taught me how to manage stress through breathing and Yoga, enabling me to get a grasp on the less tangible aspects of diabetes. I will be forever grateful to Evan for her wisdom and help."
