Our award winning diabetes specialist, Dr. Nykkia Sellers, NP stated “I felt so honored to be selected to have a interview with the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) to highlight what I love doing.”

Review the article below where Sellers discusses her reaction to receiving the 2025 AANP State Award for Outstanding Contributions and the work she does in the field of diabetes.

Thank you American Association of Nurse Practitioners !
We think she is pretty outstanding too!!😉

We not only help you manage your diabetes, we will also take the time to explain and provide education on how your medications work to improve your overall health!

🔹 1. Take Medications as Prescribed

Consistency is key—take your medications at the same time every day.

Never skip doses or double up if you miss one—ask your health care provider what to do.

For insulin, rotate injection sites to avoid tissue damage.

🔹 2. Know What You’re Taking

Understand:

What each medication does

Possible side effects

When to take it (before or after meals, etc.)

Physical activity helps regulate blood sugar levels, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports overall health.

The American Diabetes Association recommends:

150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week (e.g., 30 minutes, 5 days a week)

2–3 sessions of resistance training per week

Avoid sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time – aim to move regularly.
