The program is provided for patients with newly diagnosed or uncontrolled diabetes. As a part of the diabetes education, nutritional instruction will also be provided.  An individual education plan is developed with the patient and diabetes education team – including a Nurse Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered & Licensed Dietitian.
