Diabetes Education Center

Diabetes Prevention & Education

The certified diabetes educators and staff of Riverview Health Diabetes & Nutrition provide education, prevention techniques and diverse treatments to those living with diabetes.

Through our educational program, accredited by the American Diabetes Association, we help individuals living with diabetes—whether they’re newly diagnosed or in need of self-management tools—learn how to better manage their condition.

Diabetes education is offered on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Inpatients receive on-site consultations, while outpatients have the option of diabetes self-management classes or individual consultations.

We provide comprehensive instruction on:

• Nutrition/meal planning
• Diabetes medications
• Insulin administration
• Blood glucose monitoring
• Risk reduction

Our diabetes educators maintain clinical and dietary certifications. And our patient-focused educational program meets the American Diabetes Association’s national standards for diabetes self-management education.
