Comprehensive assessment, education and support for individuals choosing to use an insulin pump.

Medical Nutrition Therapy
Designed to meet the educational needs of the patient diagnosed with pre diabetes (Impaired Glucose Tolerance). Comprehensive assessment and meal planning with a registered dietitian. However, we see individualized meal plans as a need for everyone with diabetes even if they are unable to attend TEAM; as well as, a recurrent need as a persons diabetes treatment plan changes or other major life-style changes occur.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS)
The CGMS system is designed to monitor blood glucose levels. A flexible plastic sensor inserted under the skin measures and records an average blood glucose value every five minutes for up to 72 hours. The information from the sensor is then downloaded to a computer and detailed graphic reports can be printed. A physician will review the data with your diabetes educator and make recommendations for changes in your diabetes plan, if necessary.
