Diabetes prevention
and management for living well

è Return to Diabetes Education and Management

The American
Diabetes Association
recognizes our
program as meeting the National Standards for Self-Management Education.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for people with diabetes, reduce complications and suffering and contribute to the prevention and cure. This is accomplished through a multidisciplinary approach, giving individuals and their families the tools, skills, knowledge, courage and support needed to manage their diabetes.

Diabetes is a complex disease process that requires daily self-management — making healthy food choices, staying physically active, monitoring your blood sugar, and taking medications as prescribed by your doctor. When it comes to managing
diabetes, knowledge is power.

Our program offers education and training in diabetes prevention, diabetes self management for the newly diagnosed, gestational diabetes, intensive insulin therapy, insulin pumps, pre-pregnancy consultation, and therapy with children. We offer group classes and individual consultations.

Classes incorporate recommendations by the American Diabetes Association, National Diabetes Education Program and the American College of Endocrinology.

Our monthly “Diabetes Prevention” group class does NOT require a physician referral and covers the following:

Understanding your risk for developing type 2 diabetes
Healthy eating and possible weight loss
Physical activity
Medications

Our “Gestational Diabetes” class requires a physician referral and includes the following topics:

Diabetes overview
Understanding maternal and fetal risks
Healthy eating
Physical activity
Medications
Blood glucose monitoring

“Living Well with Diabetes – A Positive Approach” is a four-class series and requires physician referral for attendance.

WEEK 1 ● Diabetes overview ● Diabetes prevention ● Treatment of diabetes ● Monitoring blood sugar ● Goal-setting	WEEK 3 ● Pattern management ● Exercise ● Stress management/problem-solving ● Review of goals
WEEK 2 ● Meal planning ● General nutrition ● Label reading ● Dining out ● Review of goals	WEEK 4 ● Acute complications ● High blood sugar ● Low blood sugar ● Sick day management ● Chronic complications ● Prevention ● ADA standards of care

Planning the future
Classes are taught by diabetes educators (nurses, dietitians and other healthcare professionals). The educator can help guide you through your treatment and help you with any fears, issues and problems you encounter along the way.

Cost of classes
There is a nominal fee for the Diabetes Prevention class, payable at the time of service. The classes that require physician referral, as well as individual appointments, are billed to your insurance. Coverage can vary from plan to plan. Payment arrangements can be made through the Business Office at Flagstaff Medical Center or Verde Valley Medical Center.

How to register
You may call 773-2249, the Diabetes Education office at Flagstaff Medical Center or 639-6346 at Verde Valley Medical Center. Leave your name, address and telephone number and we will contact you. If you are testing your blood sugar at home, please bring your meter and any recorded results to class or to your appointment.
