Diabetic Management Education:

Every individual with diabetes is unique and deserves an individualized diabetes management plan.  Knowledge of current management tools and strategies is essential for long term blood glucose control.

Diabetes can be an intimidating and overwhelming diagnosis.  Individualized instruction for the newly diagnosed includes the what and why of diabetes, home glucose monitoring, dietary and medication management, and reducing the risks of long term complications.  Individuals who have had diabetes for years can benefit from learning about new management techniques and receiving assistance in identifying barriers to good blood glucose control.
