The CMWL Difference
  • Q: Is it safe to warm up powdered shakes?
    Answer: The plastic containers are carcinogenic when they are heated up. You would need to pour the ingredients into a mug or bowl first. It is important to add hot (not boiling water) to the product...
  • Q: What topics do you use for counseling patients?
    Answer: I use all 20 teaching modules. In addition, I recommend talking to patients about their diet and food choices to see if any can be improved. You may want to try doing half a module on one visit and complete it on the next visit so you can go into more detail.
