Our Principles of Diabetes Education 

• The person with diabetes is the center of his/her healthcare team.
  • People with diabetes live busy lives with competing demands on their time, energy, and finances.
  • Diabetes education is not lecturing. It's helping you discover real-world solutions that fit into your lifestyles and develop self-management techniques that work for you.
