and skills needed to become self-managers of their diabetes. A significant focus is on the prevention of
complications by achieving optimal glycemic control. Services include individual one-on-one counseling & group education.

Patients living with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes would benefit from a primary care referral to the Diabetes Education Program.
