Diabetes Education

We understand that your experience with diabetes is unique, and that managing it can feel overwhelming. We can help you figure out which solution meets your individual needs.

Most of your diabetes care happens outside of the doctor’s office: What can I eat at a restaurant? When is the best time to take my medicine? Where should I keep my insulin pen so I remember to take it?

Our Diabetes Education Program, under AAMG Diabetes and Endocrine Specialists, can help you improve your blood sugar levels, feel more energetic, lower your risk for complications and improve your quality of life.

Our diabetes educators are here to help you work diabetes care into your busy life. Please bring a doctor’s order or referral to your appointment; it needs to have your diagnosis included.

Our program is recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) as meeting the ADA National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education.
