The hard part of
diabetes care happens

Your plan. Their daily life. One thread connecting them.

Sherpa doesn't replace what you're already doing. It carries your clinical guidance into your patient's day — so the decisions they make at dinner, at the gym, or when they're tempted to skip a dose are shaped by what you've already told them.

No new workflow for you. No steep learning curve for your patient. Just consistent, guided support in the gap that clinical practice has never been able to fill.

1

You identify the patient

A patient at the right clinical moment — starting metformin, on a GLP-1, or managing early diabetes — gets enrolled via a referral link or QR code in under 60 seconds.

2

Sherpa handles the daily layer

Nutrition guidance, activity nudges, medication reminders, and side-effect check-ins — all matched to the patient's profile, all shaped by evidence-based protocols.

3

You get signal, not noise

Periodic summaries on weight trends, adherence, and engagement flags — without logging into another system. You stay informed without being burdened.

4

Appointments become more productive

Patients arrive with real data, real progress, and real questions — instead of a vague sense that they "tried." Every visit starts from a better place.

You're already trying. Sherpa helps it actually stick.

This isn't about learning a new system or following a plan that doesn't fit your life. Sherpa works with what you already intend to do — and makes it easier to actually do it, consistently.

🧭

Direction, not a diet

Sherpa doesn't hand you a rigid meal plan. It meets you where you are and helps you make the small, consistent moves that add up to real change.

📊

Your effort becomes visible

See how the choices you're making are actually moving your numbers — so you arrive at your next appointment with a real story, not just a vague feeling that you tried.

How to ask your doctor about Sherpa

"I'd like some support staying on track between appointments. Is Sherpa something your practice uses? I've heard it works alongside your care plan without me having to learn anything new."

💊

Stay ahead of escalation

Structured lifestyle support can reduce HbA1c by 0.3–0.5 points on its own. Sherpa helps you build the habits that keep you off the escalation track.

⏱️

The window is now

Early glycemic control generates 3 times the long-term mortality benefit of the same effort started 10 years later. Sherpa helps you make the most of this moment.

How to ask your doctor about Sherpa

"I want to do everything I can to avoid needing a higher dose or a second medication. Can you enroll me in Sherpa? I'd like the extra support between visits."

🔄

Make the medication count

Most people who stop a GLP-1 regain the weight within 1–2 years. Sherpa builds the habits that work with the medication — so the results last beyond the prescription.

🤝

Guided through the hard parts

Side effects, titration weeks, plateaus — Sherpa provides the practical guidance that helps you stay on track when the medication alone isn't enough.

How to ask your doctor about Sherpa

"I want to get as much as possible out of this medication and not just rely on it. Is Sherpa available through your practice? I'd like the behavioral support alongside the prescription."

Ready to get started? Sherpa works through your physician's practice. At your next appointment, you can say: "I'd like behavioral support to help me stay on track between visits — is Sherpa something you use?" It takes less than a minute for your doctor to enroll you.

Built on landmark clinical research — not trends.

Every element of Sherpa's approach is grounded in peer-reviewed trials and ADA-aligned guidelines. The case for early lifestyle intervention isn't new. The infrastructure to deliver it is.

Greater long-term mortality benefit when glycemic control begins early. The same reduction started 10 years later produces only one-third the protection.

Referral gap

Of eligible patients are ever referred to a prevention program — not because physicians disagree with the evidence, but because the infrastructure to deliver it doesn't exist.

Physicians and researchers describe the problem Sherpa was built to solve.

If there's a failure here, it's a failure on the part of physicians to internalize the powerful effect that lifestyle intervention can have.

These medications are approved as an adjunct to nutrition and lifestyle therapy — and right now they're being used as first line in most cases.

Only 4.2% of adults from a representative sample of eligible patients were referred to a diabetes prevention program. Providers will refer to programs that they know and trust.

The referral your patients actually follow through on.

You already know lifestyle intervention should come first. The challenge has always been delivery — not evidence. Sherpa closes that gap without changing how you practice.

Zero added workflow. Enroll a patient in under 60 seconds with a referral link or QR code. Sherpa handles onboarding, consent, and daily engagement.

Guideline-concordant by design. ADA-aligned lifestyle-first protocols for prediabetes, early type 2 diabetes (HbA1c <8), and GLP-1 augmentation.

Supports your GLP-1 patients. Titration guidance, side-effect support, and habit-building — so patients get more from the medication and are less likely to discontinue or regain.

Signal, not noise. Periodic summaries on adherence, engagement, and behavioral trends — without logging into another system constantly.

HIPAA compliant, no IT lift required. Purpose-built for clinical settings. Works alongside your EHR — it doesn't replace it.
