Updated: 04/28/25
Introducing JUMPSTART, a one-stop interactive learning portal for patients who are low carb curious or who are seeking a starting point for diabetes-friendly nutritional information. This site was designed by MCT2D clinicians, content experts, designers, and vetted by our Patient Advisory Board as a way to connect the role that food plays in one's health and wellbeing and to set individuals on a healthy path. We recommend sharing with all of your patients who might benefit.
