Diabetes Self Management Education

The purpose of the program is to provide Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) for people with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and cardiac risk. DSME means learning the information and skills necessary to take care of your health on a daily basis.

Health conditions can be less stressful if you know more about them. Reaching your goals, healthy eating, and being more active are skills we can help you learn. It is information the entire family can use to be healthier. Education and knowledge puts you in control!

How The Program Works

Your doctor / provider will fax an Education Referral form to us.
Once we receive the referral, we will contact you to schedule an appointment.
(If you are interested in our services but your provider has not referred you, you may contact us. We will request a referral from your provider. When we receive the referral, we will contact you to schedule an appointment.)
Your first appointment will be with a Registered Nurse and / or a Certified Diabetes Educator. If you would like the education session(s) to be in Spanish, we will arrange for an experienced translator to attend.
During your first appointment, you and the R.N. will decide upon an education plan that meets your needs.
