The Diabetes Education Program is provided by an interdisciplinary team of professionals.

Diabetes classes are flexible and are offered with individualized attention to teach you how to:

  • Prevent complications
  • Prevent high and low blood sugars
  • Take care of your feet, skin, and eyes
  • Use a glucometer and know what the numbers mean
  • Plan meals, grocery shop, and eat out
  • Cope and handle stressful situations

The staff encourages you to bring a friend or family member for support. The goal is to give you a better understanding of diabetes so you can lead a healthier and productive life.
