Diabetes Wellness Program
Diabetes is a life-changing, chronic condition. It requires an understanding of how foods, activity and medications affect blood sugar levels. To feel well and stay well, people with diabetes must learn to balance eating, exercise and diabetes medications so that blood sugar stays within a healthy range.
To assist those with diabetes in this complex balancing act, Saint Agnes Hospital has developed several programs that focus on teaching the skills necessary to control blood sugar and to slow or prevent the complications of diabetes.
Individual Education
A certified diabetes educator is available by appointment, Monday through Friday, for one-on-one training in the use of diabetes medications (such as insulin), use of home glucose monitors, and management of high and low blood sugar.
Nutrition Consultation
A registered dietitian with specialized knowledge of the diabetic meal plans, offers individualized counseling by appointment on carbohydrate counting and weight management
Financial
Services of the Diabetes Center are covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare. Financial assistance is available.
