Diabetes Management Program

The Jewish Hospital Diabetes Management Program helps those who have been diagnosed with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes control their disease so they can lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Patients and their families work individually with nurses and dietitians who are certified diabetes educators to develop a personalized program to fit the patient’s lifestyle.

Diabetes Self-Management Education Program includes:

1. Private consultations with registered nurses and registered dietitians to discuss treatment, self-care skills, and dietary habits and to set goals for managing a healthy lifestyle
2. One-day seminar that gives patients and families helpful information to support lifestyle changes
3. Updates on patient’s progress sent to patient’s physician
4. Follow-up with diabetes educators

Since 1991, the Jewish Hospital Diabetes Management Program has maintained Education Recognition by the American Diabetes Association.
