Diabetes Self-Management Education

Studies show that people who learn more about diabetes, have improved blood glucose levels, are better controlled, reduce their risk of complications, and improve their quality of life.

The Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) program is for individuals that have been diagnosed with diabetes. DSME consists of 10 hours of individualized instruction provided by a health care professional such as a nurse or dietitian who has received continuing education in diabetes.

Topics covered include healthy eating, physical activity, monitoring blood sugar, taking medication, problem-solving, healthy coping, and reducing risks. The goals of DSME are to increase participants knowledge, improve blood sugar control, reduce complications, and promote health and well-being.
