The Seven Nodes of NBDC.

One connected framework for type 2 diabetes: nutrition, physiology, and everyday life in a single picture.

Nutrition

The clinical logic of what, when, and how much, grounded in physiology, not fads.

Physical Activity

Movement as a metabolic input: dosing intensity, duration, and recovery.

Sleep

Restoring the biological clock that governs insulin sensitivity and appetite.

Stress & Mood

How the nervous system quietly shapes glucose, cravings, and adherence.

Medication

Using pharmacology as one node in a network, not a stand-alone fix.

Monitoring

Turning A1C, CGM, and daily data into decisions patients can actually make.

Community & Care Team

The people, clinicians, and culture that hold the plan together.
