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, medication 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 offer one-on-one and group education sessions.
At follow-up visits, your patient will meet with the diabetes
educator to review blood glucose levels, discuss blood glucose monitoring,
pattern management and foot care education. State of the art
technology available to assist with improved blood glucose control including
continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy.
