Saint John's Health Center's Nutrition and Diabetes Education Department has Certified Diabetes Educators who offer comprehensive diabetes education.

Staff members train patients how to test their blood glucose level and use insulin delivery equipment, such as insulin syringes, PENs and pumps. They will also provide patients with glucometers as needed as well as diet and nutrition assistance to help patients adjust to their new lifestyle.

Additionally, the Department provides diabetes patients the lifestyle management skills they need, including stress management, exercise and skin and foot care instructions.

The Department also works closely with physicians to provide the best medical care available.
