A Comprehensive Program
The Diabetes Care Center Program includes a complete assessment by the diabetes nurse coordinator and the clinical dietitian. On your first visit, you will receive one-to-one counseling with a registered nurse and a clinical dietitian/nutritionist. They will discuss basic diabetes survival skills, medications and monitoring. This assessment lasts approximately 2 hours.
Follow-up visits are scheduled based on your individual need for additional education and monitoring.
