Ongoing diabetes education and care to help you live a healthier lifestyle.
We believe that ongoing diabetes education and comprehensive care should occur together, so we take an integrated approach to treatment.
Our Centre offers a full-time Diabetes Education Self-Management program, which has been shown to improve A1c values and help avoid diabetes complications.
Our Program
Our program includes problem solving, goal setting and active participation in decision-making. People with diabetes will be supported in interpreting and acting on:
- Lifestyle issues (i.e. foot care)
- Making informed management decisions about insulin
- Medication
- Nutrition
- Physical activity
- Self-monitoring of blood glucose results
Attending the Diabetes Education Program
Any adult, 18 years and older, diagnosed with pre-diabetes or at risk of diabetes, Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes is able to access this program at our Centre.
Bringing the Community Together
Community Diabetes Programing is offered depending on the current needs of the communities we serve.
