Diabetes Educator Mary Costa’s New Book, "The Diabetes Blueprint," Named International Best-Seller
Diabetes educator and author, Mary Costa’s new book, The Diabetes Blueprint: Five Simple Steps to Double Your Energy, Eliminate Brain Fog, Feel Younger and Lose the Weight So You Feel Sexy and Happy Again! was named an international best-seller in the area of “Diabetes Care” by Amazon.

Mary Costa, a Registered Nurse and Certified Diabetes Educator has worked for one of the largest HMO’s in the country for more than 35 years. She works exclusively with adults who have diabetes: consulting, teaching, advising, and adjusting medications by protocol to help her patients reach healthy blood sugar levels. Mary is also the President and CEO of “Transform Your Diabetes Health” an online organization which offers education and coaching for people with diabetes, that includes holistic and integrative health practices.

Costa has worked with diverse populations, across all walks of life, and loves the challenge of making complex information easy to understand, with clear, and “do-able” action steps. Mary has seen what works, and what doesn’t, and recognizes that living with, and managing diabetes is not a sprint, but a marathon. While the end result may be the same, the journey for each of her patients to achieve their best diabetes health, is individualized.

She explained, “My goal after over 28 years of teaching and training adults with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, is to use evidence-based practices to help people with diabetes achieve their best health and wellness. Patients are always looking to integrative therapies and complementary practices in addition to traditional Western medicine and we help them navigate through the minefield of information.”
