********This page is not for inpatient education. Remember to refer to the policy of your facility:)************
Have you been to class? Consider attending a short series of classes to refine
your skills! If you are a new diabetic or an old pro, if you haven't attended
diabetes classes you've missed out on some great resources including a meal
plan made just for you prepared by a registered dietician and the knowledge,
resources and assessment skills of certified diabetes educators!
Talk to your physician about diabetes centers in your area, or search below.
Online resources are great but a poor substitution for the real thing!
