Individual Diabetes Education

Registered Nurses provide diabetes education for newly diagnosed patients. During these sessions they provide information about diabetes, provide glucometers and instructions on how to use them. 

Patients can receive ongoing health teaching sessions with a nurse for their bloodwork, blood pressure, blood sugar, foot check , weight, height and body mass index.

They will also receive reminders about eye checks, and medications reviews. The nurse will communicate with the patient’s doctor and provide some recommendations if needed. They will also work with the doctor if the patient needs a referral to an endocrinologist for uncontrolled diabetes. 

Insulin and Ozempic start, phone calls for adjustments of medications, and working with patients to make sure they are pre-booked for a 3 months follow up are also services provided. 

Referrals to  a dietitian, chiropodist and/or mental health worker will also be provided as needed.
