Diabetes Center

Diabetes is a growing health problem in the United States. In Maryland, eight percent of our population is affected by it. Which is one reason we have developed so complete a program—and turned our attention and resources to the diagnosis and treatment of it. Our Diabetes Center brings together the best in care and treatment to help patients better manage their condition. Our goal is to help you and every patient who has diabetes to offset or delay complications resulting from it.

Recent research has helped us learn about and implement innovative treatments. With proper care, diabetes doesn’t have to lead to blindness, amputations or other health problems.

We offer a depth of services and programs designed to:

• Reduce the number of people who get diabetes
• Control and reduce the complications from this disease by working with physicians, a clinical endocrinologist, nurse specialist, educators, dietitians and others to educate patients on how to improve their general well-being for the long term—whether they are insulin-dependent or not

Our programs include:

• Self-management help—learning healthy food choices, physical activity encouragement, monitoring of blood sugar and medication management
• Diabetes Group Classes—our program teaches the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, stress management and controlling blood sugar to minimize complications
• Medical Nutrition Therapy—registered dietitians teach the basic steps of better nutrition
• Support Groups

We are ADA-accredited:

Our self-management education program has continually been awarded recognition by the American Diabetes Association for meeting the national standards for diabetes education.
