Diabetes Education Program

New Vision developed a Diabetes Education Program in 2008. The goal of our program is to provide education and regular monitoring to all patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes in order to prevent the complications associated with poorly-controlled diabetes. The program also focuses on patient self-management and strives to make the patient an active participant in their health care.

The program is run by a Physician, Certified Diabetic Educator/Dietitian, Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Pharmacist, Social Worker, and Administrator.

The program consists of an initial group education session, which focuses on health eating, activity and blood sugar monitoring. Following the group session, all patients are seen by the Nurse Practitioner and Dietitian for individual appointments. Follow-up after the initial visit, is booked based on the patient's needs. Once the patient is stable, ongoing education and monitoring is provided every 3-6 months by their Nurse Practitioner or Physician.
