Nutrition Counseling at Mercy Hospital

Ann Marie Smokowski, RD, CDE, CDN

Ann Marie Smokowski, RD, CDE, CDN, teaches a diabetes class.

Ann Marie Smokowski, RD, CDE, CDN has been employed by Mercy Hospital of Buffalo since 1984. She is a registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator and certified dietitian/nutritionist. She teaches diabetes education classes and is the Outpatient Medical Nutrition Therapy Counselor. Ann Marie takes pride in helping clients reach their nutritional goals.

I have lost a total of 81 lbs. since the diabetes class.

My diabetes was diagnosed early and with the early intervention, lifestyle changes including walking one mile daily, following my meal plan consistently, and watching portions, I no longer require my oral Diabetes medication! The class instruction (especially the meal plan) taught me to change my lifestyle for the better. I feel great!
