Diabetes Education

Diabetes is a complex disease that requires daily self-management of food choices, physical activity, blood sugars, and the prescribed treatment plan.

Successful self-management will help the person with diabetes feel better and reduce the risk of developing complications including heart disease, retinal disorders, kidney disease, and nerve damage.

After a referral from your healthcare provider, Grinnell Regional Medical Center offers the following services:

• nutrition assessment and medical nutrition therapy
• training on monitoring blood sugars
• instruction on the use of oral medications and insulin
