Diabetes Education

The Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) program is designed to empower our community to take charge of their diabetes.

  • Information about diabetes
  • The benefits of blood sugar control and the risks of poor blood sugar control
  • Nutrition and how to manage a diet and weight
  • Exercise and blood sugar control
  • Blood sugar testing and monitoring
  • How to prevent, recognize and treat acute and chronic complications from your diabetes
  • Foot, skin and dental care
  • Family involvement and support

Getting Started
