Diabetes Education
Diabetes may be difficult to manage, but you don't have to do it alone. Brookings Health System offers these classes to help you understand diabetes, and how to adjust your lifestyle with the tools you need to control your diabetes.
Our healthcare team includes two registered nurses and a registered dietician who work together to counsel patients on how to incorporate healthy eating, physical activity and medication management into their lives.
Along with teaching blood glucose monitoring, they teach how to avoid the risks of complications associated with diabetes and provide the ability to problem solve and make adjustments according to individual lifestyles. Classes are offered by appointment and a physician referral is needed for the program.
