About DSME @ BNWS
- by Susannah Edwards, MS RDN LDN
Here’s how it works: You will meet one-one-one with a BNWS registered dietitian nutritionist or registered nurse to get started. Together, you will come up with an education plan based on what you’re interested in learning. Depending on your insurance, your follow-up visits will be either in one-on-one sessions or in group classes. Certain exceptions can be made, you can discuss your preferences during your initial visit.

At BNWS we also provide nutrition services. These are individual visits with a registered dietitian nutritionist who will be your guide as you make lifestyle changes to improve your health. This can be done at the same time as DSME or separately.
