(Nov. 3, 2016) The Diabetes Outpatient Education Program at Atlantic General Hospital will be offering diabetes self-management education classes in November.
The series of four, two-hour sessions will address blood glucose monitoring, foot care, nutrition, exercise, and other self-management skills to help individuals better manage their diabetes. A family member is invited to attend.
The program is recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for quality education, and program staff includes a registered nurse (who has diabetes) and a registered dietitian, both of whom are certified diabetes educators.
Advance registration and a referral from a primary care provider (which the program can obtain) are required. Diabetes self-management is a Medicare benefit and the cost of the classes is covered by many insurances.
Classes will be held on Monday, Nov. 7, 14, 21 and 28 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at Atlantic Health Center, 9714 Healthway Drive, Berlin. Call 410-641-9703 for more information and to register.
