Know your risk. Take our prediabetes risk assessment survey to see if you are at risk for prediabetes.

Nutrition Therapy for Diabetes Management Program

If you have diabetes, our diabetes educator is here to help evaluate, educate and support you. The Comprehensive Care Center offers a 10-hour education program that includes an initial consultation to evaluate and teach you how to better control your diabetes. You will also learn about carbohydrate counting and blood sugar testing (if needed).

Your second visit will be with a dietitian who will help with meal planning and weight management, followed up with enrollment in our diabetes classes (wrong link...takes you to support group page not more information about DSMT-Diabetes Self-Management Training). These comprehensive group sessions will help you better understand the different aspects of diabetes and teach you how to take control. Individual diabetes education is also available.
