There are many different learning opportunities available for
you.
1. Individual appointments:
It is recommended that all people with diabetes have an
assessment with a Registered Nurse and Registered Dietitian. This
usually occurs over 1-2 visits. At these appointments the
Diabetes Education team will help you to identify and begin to
implement your self management goals. A follow up visit will
likely be arranged for you at this time.
2. Group Sessions:
We conduct group education sessions every week. Many of our
clients say how much they enjoy learning in this fun, interactive
setting. Please contact our office to arrange to attend one of
our group sessions. It is not necessary to have been seen
previously. You are encouraged to bring along a family member or
significant other.
3. Drop in:
You do not need to be a registered client to attend the drop
in. During the drop in the Registered Nurse and Registered
Dietitian are available on a first come, first serve basis to
discuss any of your diabetes related questions or concerns. These
appointments usually last 10-15 mins. If you require a more in
depth assessment or review a follow up visit can be arranged at
that time.
Occasionally, we may need to cancel the drop in. So for your convenience, any cancellations will be advertised on the Moose FM 103.3.
4.
Community Workshops:
We regularly give workshops in the greater Parry Sound area.
