Learn How to Self-Manage Diabetes
Learning how to manage diabetes is the most critical component of caring for yourself after you’ve been diagnosed. Diabetes can result in serious health complications if a person does not understand how to care for themselves. At Methodist Charlton Medical Center, our diabetes education services can help you prevent or delay diabetes-related problems like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, amputations, erectile dysfunction, and blindness.
In our FREE diabetes education course, you will learn:
- How to build a diabetes friendly diet
- How diabetes works and what you can do to keep it under control
- Wound prevention and care
- Fun ways to stay active
- The long-term complications of diabetes and how to prevent them
- How to manage stress
- Where you can find community support resources
When you have diabetes your health care team is very important; however, most of the time you will be responsible for your own care.
