Driving Directions

At the Marshall University Diabetes Center, we focus our education on four important areas in order to help patients gain control of their diabetes:

--meal planning, exercise, medicines and blood glucose monitoring.

Additional topics include sick day management, foot and skin care, preventing complications, eating out, food shopping and label reading, coping with diabetes, and the importance of staying healthy.

We use the team approach, and you are the captain. We offer one-on-one and group education sessions. During the initial visit, you will meet individually with a registered nurse and a registered dietitian. The Diabetes Center is staffed with physicians, certified diabetes educators, dietitians and nurses.

At follow-up visits, you will meet with the diabetes educator to review blood glucose levels, discuss blood glucose monitoring, pattern management and foot care education.
