Hi, I’m Brett Roberts, APRN — an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with five years of experience working closely with people living with diabetes.

I started this virtual service after seeing too many patients overwhelmed by blood sugar numbers, restrictive diets, and rushed clinic visits. Diabetes management shouldn’t feel like a constant battle and it definitely shouldn’t be something you have to figure out alone.

Growing up in a rural New Hampshire community with limited healthcare resources, I saw firsthand how a lack of access to specialized care can impact families — including my own. That experience shaped my commitment to making diabetes support more accessible, especially in underserved communities where care options are often scarce.

I attended Keene State College in Keene, NH where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, and later returned to MCPHS University in Boston, MA to complete my Master’s Degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

My clinical interests are rooted in diabetes, metabolism, and weight management. I’m passionate about helping people make practical, sustainable lifestyle changes that improve their health and quality of life.

My approach is practical, evidence-based, and tailored to your personal goals. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or navigating diabetes long-term, my mission is to help you feel empowered, supported, and heard — every step of the way.
