Diabetes Self-Management
Nationally recognized by the American Diabetes Association, the Center for Healthy Living, helps people living with diabetes understand all aspects of the disease and how to control it.
We work with patients to identify ways to manage diabetes, such as fitting more activities into the day or making positive behavior changes to meet specific goals.
After receiving a diabetes health assessment to determine current health and special needs, patients typically make three to six visits to the program for one-on-one or group meetings.
With a physician's referral, most insurance plans (including Medicare) will cover part or all program costs.

Emphasis will be on starting an exercise program, eating healthy for life and goal setting.
