For more information and resources:
If anyone listening would like to engage in learning more about diabetes, ask your Primary Care Physician for a referral for Diabetes Self Management Education and Support and have it sent to their local Diabetes Education Program.  

Patients can call their insurance to be sure which diabetes education programs they are contracted with for best coverage.
