Diabetes Self Management Education and Support

DSMES, also referred to as diabetes education, gives you the knowledge, skills and support to manage your diabetes. It provides you with the foundation to help you navigate your daily self-care with confidence and is provided by a diabetes care and education specialist, an experienced healthcare professional such as one of our Hub health coaches.

DSMES can help you improve your blood sugar levels to prevent or delay complications, avoid emergency care, and save you money on health care costs. DSMES can also help you lower your weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol. You can learn more about this program on the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES) website.
