 At the Center for Diabetes Education, we provide a quality resource to physicians, who are managing the care of people with diabetes. As Certified Diabetes Educators, we provide people with diabetes with the tools they need to manage their diabetes day to day.
Every person with diabetes needs education in order to take an active and positive role in his or her diabetes treatment plan. The person with diabetes and those who care for and about them are an integral part of the diabetes team. Diabetes education must be convenient, interactive and available to all.
