Diabetes Education

Ongoing medical care and education are important in preventing acute and chronic problems and to help reduce the risk of long-term complications. We provide education to adults, women with gestational diabetes, and children. We teach you and your family more about the disease, how to control it, and better yet, how to live with it through lifestyle changes.

• Our educational focus can provide you with the tools to manage:
• Blood glucose monitoring and medications
• Nutritional needs – individual meal plan, food label reading, dining out and carb counting
• Behavioral modifications – problem solving, goal setting, behavior change strategies and stress management
• Exercise
• Travel
• Prevention of complications and sick days

You can be assured that you will be cared for by a certified staff that has been specially trained to help you make the right decisions to effectively manage your diabetes.
