Helping You Gain Control Over Diabetes

Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death by disease in the United States. It is a serious health problem that, left untreated, can lead to heart disease, kidney failure, amputation, blindness, impotence and a host of other serious complications. Finding a healthy personal balance – learning to control your blood sugar levels through a combination of good nutrition, exercise and sometimes medication – is key to successfully managing diabetes.

Our customized outpatient self-management program includes an initial one-on-one diabetes assessment and provides you with an overview of the disease. Working closely with your personal or referring physician, our staff will help you learn to monitor your blood sugar levels and achieve a healthy balance of good nutrition, appropriate exercise and careful medication management, so that you can effectively take charge of your diabetes and enjoy a higher quality of life. Special programs and classes can help you address individual concerns of everyday living. We also offer risk assessments, eye and foot screenings, and a host of additional programs and services.
