Jayden, 11

Prediabetes

Jayden’s Story

Jayden was referred to Diverge for health coaching after being diagnosed with prediabetes. Health Coach Perron worked closely with both Jayden and his mom, building trust with them as a team. Together, they focused on small, realistic changes that felt doable for an 11-year-old — like cutting back on chips and sugary drinks and adding more vegetables and movement into his routine.

As Perron got to know the family, he recognized signs that Jayden’s condition may be progressing and escalated his concerns to the Nurse Practitioner and primary care provider. Jayden was ultimately diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and his care plan was adjusted to meet his new needs. Throughout the process, Perron remained a steady source of encouragement, helping Jayden and his mom feel supported and empowered to keep moving forward.
