Diabetes Education

The Diabetes Education Centre (DEC) provides assessment and education for adults with Type 1, Type 2, Gestational Diabetes, and Prediabetes.
The DEC strives to help adults:

• Improve their knowledge about the cause, progression and treatment of diabetes.
• Understand how to use medications correctly.
• Learn strategies for coping with and self-managing their diabetes.

Each program consists of three components – assessment, education and follow-up. Participants with diabetes learn how to prevent or delay long term complications.
