Diabetes Education

Our Diabetes Education Program helps individuals with all types of diabetes develop the skills and knowledge they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Our diabetes education covers such topics as meal planning, using glucose meters, managing glucose levels, taking diabetes medications, insulin pump management, continuous glucose monitoring and preventing complications. These services are provided on an individual basis or in group classes.

We also offer a monthly Diabetes Support Group to give people with diabetes the opportunity to interact and share information with other diabetes patients. Educational programs are presented on a variety of topics related to living with diabetes.

More information on our Diabetes Education programs is available by calling (660) 827-9334. These services also are offered at Bothwell Health Center-Truman Lake.
