Diabetes Education in Lake Charles

Empowering Patients through Self-Management

The Diabetes Education Services of Lake Charles Memorial Hospital offers people with diabetes the learning opportunities and support they need to get healthy and avoid the serious complications that can be associated with the disease in Southwest Louisiana.

In addition to learning how to monitor your glucose, the staff, which includes a certified diabetes educator, nurse educator and registered dietician, can adapt a meal plan to your own lifestyle, develop an exercise program tailored to your individual needs, discuss possible complications of diabetes, and explain how to reduce your risk of developing these complications.

The management of diabetes is a team effort involving you, your family, your physician and Memorial Hospital Diabetes Education.
