The Diabetes Education Program is available to patients who are rostered with the Family Health Team that are at risk of developing or have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and are over the age of 18.
We have two diabetes educator teams (one registered dietitian and one registered nurse) per campus (Civic and Riverside). We offer bilingual individual appointments (in person, telephone or ZOOM).
Our program can help you:
- Understand prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
- Know your risks.
- Help you learn strategies for prevention.
- Make the right nutritional choices.
- Set healthier lifestyle goals.
- Gain confidence and take charge of your health.
