Diabetes Self-Management Education

Tampa General Hospital’s Diabetes Self-Management Education program in Land O Lakes, FL, offers a valuable two-day education course tailored for adults living with diabetes. Led by a dedicated team of Certified Diabetes Educators, Registered Nurses, Registered Dieticians, and Medical Doctors, this program empowers participants to understand their condition and develop essential self-management skills. With a focus on crucial topics such as meal planning, exercise, medication adherence, and blood glucose monitoring, our nationally-recognized program is designed to reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. Recognized by the American Diabetes Association, we guide participants in exploring key questions about their diabetes management, including the importance of carbohydrate counting, reading food labels, preventing low blood sugar episodes, and more. To enroll, a referral from your primary care physician stating 'Diabetes Class' is necessary, and while Medicare and most private insurers cover the cost, it's important to confirm coverage in advance. Join us to take an important step towards better health and diabetes control.
