Diabetes Education and Management
The Diabetes
Education and Management program at FMC is designed to help people
manage their diabetes, whether they have been newly diagnosed or living
with diabetes for many years. We assist those with Type 1, Type 2 or
gestational diabetes, and even those who are interested in diabetes
prevention. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for people
with diabetes, reduce complications and suffering and contribute to the
prevention and cure for diabetes. This is accomplished through a
multidisciplinary approach, giving individuals and their families the
tools, skills, knowledge, courage and support needed to manage their
diabetes.
Outpatient appointments are available for individuals seeking one-on-one
consultation, medical nutrition therapy, intensive insulin therapy,
insulin pump training, those with special needs, and education for
children with diabetes.
We offer diabetes
education classes each month in a four-week series. The classes are
interactive.
Topics include:
• What you should know about diabetes
• Medications
• Nutrition
• Exercise
• Glucometer testing
• And more
