Diabetes Management

Take Charge of Your Health!

If you or a loved one are dealing with diabetes, you can find support in CentraCare Health-Monticello’s diabetes management program.

The program is nationally recognized by the American Diabetes Association and provides a full range of helpful tools including education, guidance and preventative services to help you take charge of their health and improve your quality of life.

In addition, an expert diabetes management team is in place to help provide customized plans and guidance every step of the way.

Your diabetes management team includes:

• Certified Diabetes Educators (registered nurses, registered dietitians)
• Pharmacists
• Internal Medicine Providers
• Family Practice Providers

This team approach helps you to easily incorporate diabetes care into your lifestyle, with the goal of improving your overall health and minimizing complications related to diabetes. An individualized plan allows you to modify your lifestyle choices and be in control of your diabetes, rather than having the disease be in control of you.
