Our Diabetes Educator will design an individualized plan for you, including tools and support to set you up for success. Some of our resources include: 

  • The Continuous Glucose Monitoring systems, a small device that gives your clinicians an in-depth glucose check, revealing glucose fluctuations that fingersticks and even A1c tests can miss.

  • Support groups that offer encouragement, education, problem-solving, and valuable feedback.
