Our diabetes education program is accredited by Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists.
People with diabetes are encouraged to see their primary care provider at least every 3 months and to bring their meter and log book to all of their appointments
But diabetes and its complications are preventable! Diabetes education works to improve health outcomes and prevent complication for people with diabetes. In the last year, patients attending TCRHCC group diabetes education class reduced there A1c by an average of 1.2 points!
The Healthy Living Diabetes Education & Clinical Nutrition department is an American Association of Diabetes Educators-accredited program providing diabetes education in group and 1 on 1 setting, nutrition care, foot screening exams, meter teaching, and eye screenings, now on all 3 floors of OPCC.
On Tuesdays at 8 am, we offer group diabetes class. All people with diabetes and their families are encouraged to attend. Our aim is to reduce complications, such as eye disease, nerve damage, heart disease, and kidney disease, for people with diabetes.
In class, a variety of instructors will teach you skills to manage your diabetes and control your blood sugar.
Class is offered in the Navajo language on a monthly basis. Please call to schedule.
Our department or the pharmacy diabetes clinic can provide diabetes medication management with a referral from your primary care provider. If you are interested in help with managing your medications and improving your blood sugar control, please ask your provider for a referral.
We also offer specialized services to women with diabetes during pregnancy. About 20-25% of pregnancies at TCRHCC are affected by either type 2 or gestational diabetes.
High blood sugars during pregnancy can cause serious problems for both mom and baby, so we work closely with the Women’s Clinic staff to ensure healthy outcomes for our moms and babies.
Pharmacy Diabetes Clinic and Tuesday morning group diabetes class will still check in on the 1st floor, at the new Same-Day window.
Our diabetes health techs, Lenora and Vanessa, will be providing foot exams, eye screenings, and meter training as part of your primary care visit with IM, FM, SDA, Peds, or Womens.
