Diabetes Education and Management Program

We welcome patients with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes or those at high risk for type 2 diabetes.  

Our primary goals are to empower people with knowledge about diabetes, help them set realistic goals and guide the management of their health. 

This program is available to patients of physicians at our Vaughan and Toronto sites.

What to expect

During your visit, you will meet with a certified diabetes educator (CDE). A certified diabetes educator is a highly trained nurse or dietitian who helps people with diabetes manage their condition.

The certified diabetes educator can answer questions about using insulin, self-monitoring of blood glucose, medication, preventative care, foot care and meal planning.  

Our team can also help connect you to resources in the community and work with your family physician to develop a personalized diabetes care plan tailored to your specific needs.  

For more information on diabetes, please explore the resources provided by Diabetes Canada. 

What to bring

• Health (OHIP) card or valid health-care coverage  
• A list of your current medications  
• A list of questions you want to ask  
• A support person, if desired
