The Ochsner Diabetes Management Program in Lacombe, LA, is dedicated to empowering individuals aged 18 and older living with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. Accredited by the American Diabetes Association, our team of certified diabetes educators, including registered nurses and registered dietitians, offers comprehensive support through interactive Basic Diabetes Group Classes held monthly. In just a single 5-hour session, participants engage in learning about diabetes management, blood sugar monitoring, medication management, and the prevention of both acute and chronic complications. We also cover essential topics such as healthy eating, food label reading, carbohydrate counting, exercise, and goal setting, all while fostering an environment of care and understanding. For those looking to enhance their diabetes management journey, referrals from your physician can help you schedule an appointment with a diabetes educator. Together, we can build a healthier future.
