Monroe Clinic's diabetes care team believes in the team management approach to diabetes. The care team includes your primary care provider, endocrinologist, registered dietitian, nurse practitioner and diabetes educators. But the most important member of the team is you.

Diabetes Self-Management Education Program

Recognized by the American Diabetes Association for Quality Self-Management Education, the diabetes self-management education program is designed for those who were recently diagnosed with diabetes or who are new to diabetes self-management. Continuing in-depth education is also available for those who have a history of diabetes.

Diabetes Support Group

The diabetes support group provides information on many aspects of living with diabetes. Attendees share their experiences with others who are living with diabetes during this monthly group meeting. The group is free and open to all adults with diabetes. Visit Monroe Clinic's calendar of events to register.
