Our program, led by a dedicated team of Certified Diabetes Educators, Registered Nurses, Registered Dieticians, and Medical Doctors, provides essential education on meal planning, physical activity, medication management, blood glucose monitoring, and reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. Recognized by the American Diabetes Association for quality, our program equips participants with vital self-management skills to effectively control diabetes and prevent complications such as heart and kidney disease. You will learn crucial information, including how to count carbohydrates, interpret food labels, manage exercise's effects on blood glucose, and more. A referral from your primary care physician stating 'Diabetes Class' is required for registration, and we encourage participants to verify their insurance coverage as Medicare and most insurers will cover the costs.
