Diabetes is a debilitating condition that affects over 25 million people nationally, and is a major cause of heart disease and stroke among affected patients. The first step in keeping your diabetes in check is to be properly educated about your condition and what options you have.

With this in mind, we offer a very comprehensive diabetes educational program that is not only state certified but also recognized by the American Association of Diabetes Educators.
