The Diabetes Education Program at Atlantic General Hospital will be offering
diabetes self-management training classes in September.
The series of four, two hour sessions will address blood glucose monitoring,
foot care, nutrition, exercise, and other self-management skills to help
manage diabetes. The program is recognized by the American Diabetes Association
(ADA) for quality education, and program staff includes a Registered Nurse,
and a Registered Dietitian, both of whom are Certified Diabetes Educators.
A referral from your Primary Care Provider and advance registration are
required. An individual appointment with the nurse, to review your medical
history, will be scheduled prior to the start of the program. Diabetes
Self-Management is a Medicare benefit and the cost of the classes is covered
by many insurances.
