Located in Burnsville, MN, the Diabetes Education program at Mayo Clinic Health System is dedicated to empowering individuals with diabetes through a comprehensive self-management approach. Our program prioritizes education and support, teaching essential skills in nutrition for health and blood glucose control, exercise, monitoring blood glucose levels, and effective medication management. We aim to equip you with the tools to achieve optimal blood glucose control while recognizing signs that may indicate a need for adjustments in your treatment plan. Family participation and social support are integral parts of our program, which also includes strategies for behavior change and approaches to prevent, detect, and treat complications. Additionally, we understand that financial barriers can be a concern, which is why we offer financial counseling to help navigate options like Medical Assistance, disability support, and local charitable grants. We encourage those facing payment difficulties to communicate with us so we can help identify suitable resources for your diabetes care.
