Diabetes Management

Our comprehensive diabetes management program involves in-office visits, a series of meetings, and classes for a period of several months, or longer. Depending on your needs, this may include:

• One assessment visit
• Small-group program
• Four bi-weekly classes
• A six-week follow-up visit
• Ongoing treatment and support as needed

In these meetings and classes, we will cover a variety of topics based on your personalized plan, including:

• Monitoring and controlling your blood sugar
• Continuous glucose monitoring system set-up and training
• Warning signs of diabetes-related complications
• Diabetes-related care services such as chronic wound care
• What to eat and what to avoid for better diabetes management and overall health
• Weight management and fitness regimens to control diabetes
• Realistic and sustainable goals
• Reducing risks and managing complications
• Other lifestyle changes you can make

Studies have shown that support from peers can help improve clinical and behavioral outcomes for patients with diabetes. That’s why we offer a safe space for people living with diabetes to share stories, tips, and serve as a supportive community to help you thrive. Support group meetings are held once a month, every Monday at the hospital.
