Our Diabetes Education Program  provides individuals with diabetes the skills and knowledge needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of long-term complications. The Bothwell Regional Health Center Diabetes Self Education Program has been Recognized by the American Diabetes Association for Quality Self-Management Education.

Services Provided by Bothwell’s Diabetes Education Program:

Individual sessions and/or group classes
Nutrition Therapy
Blood Glucose Monitoring
Insulin and Insulin Pump Training
Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Gestational Diabetes Education

    Topics covered in our comprehensive program include medication, nutrition, physical activity, monitoring and complications. Certified Diabetes Educators provide these services. Medicare and most insurance plans cover the services with your physician’s referral.

Diabetes Support Group

    In addition, we also offer a Diabetes Support Group. It is a community service open to all people with diabetes and their family members at no cost. Meeting with others who are in the same situation offers the opportunity to share feelings and gain valuable tips. Studies show that attending a diabetes support group can help reduce stress and have a positive effect on the health of those with diabetes.  Information is provided on a variety of topics related to diabetes.
    Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the Bothwell Education Center.  You may call 827-9334 for more information.
