Diabetes Education
A diagnosis of diabetes does not have to mean a life of ill health and unappetizing meals. There are simple steps you can take to gain control and live a happy, fulfilling life. Drawing on the support of the Diabetes Center at the hospital, the VMC primary care clinic network's new Diabetes Self-Management Program uses a team approach to teach you how to manage the disease. The program is available to all diabetic VMC clinic patients, whether you are newly diagnosed or just need extra guidance. An RN clinic coordinator will provide you with initial education about the disease, nutrition and blood sugar monitoring. Your provider will then refer you to the Diabetes Center at the hospital for immersion in nutrition, exercise, symptom analysis and more. You’ll also receive ongoing education and coaching, as needed, from your provider and the nursing staff at your VMC clinic. Our goal is to help you improve your overall health. Why go it alone, when you can have the support of a whole team? Learn more and sign up for a free educational seminar.
