Woman meeting with a diabetes counselor

An integral part of living well with diabetes is everyday self-management, and education is the key to that. Because the disease changes over the course of a lifetime and new technologies to help manage it are constantly emerging, diabetes education is an ongoing process.

The team at the UM Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology at BWMC includes certified diabetes educators. They are experts in diabetes management and have years of experience helping patients adopt healthy behaviors. Our educators help patients develop decision-making skills to successfully manage blood sugars and prevent diabetic complications.

Diabetes and nutrition educational programs hosted by the UM Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology are available for groups or one-on-one. This may not apply to the courses hosted by Community Outreach or Population Health at UM BWMC.
