Why did our Founder write Beating the Sugar B.E.A.S.T.™?
For Adrienne Maye, RN, BSN, CDCES, the answer goes far beyond writing a book. After more than 20 years in nursing and healthcare, Adrienne saw firsthand how difficult managing diabetes can become when health information is confusing, overwhelming, or doesn't reflect the realities of people's everyday lives.
Diabetes has also affected her own family, making the mission deeply personal.
She wrote Beating the Sugar B.E.A.S.T.™ Lifestyle Management for People of Color Living with Diabetes to provide practical, culturally relevant diabetes education without unnecessary medical jargon.
That same belief continues to guide MFDM today: Health information should be understandable, relevant, and actionable.
Through professional speaking, nursing consulting, and community health education, MFDM partners with organizations to help strengthen healthcare teams, advance health equity, and improve health outcomes.
