For outpatient classes or one-on-one education, a physician must fill out a referral form. Once the patient is accepted, we will notify them of the class schedule. The physician requesting the referral will be provided updates on the patient’s progress after each session.
The Classes
There are four classes for people who are non-insulin dependent. There are three classes for people who are insulin dependent. These classes are spread out over a three to four month period of time. It is important to attend every class because the information presented builds on the prior class and there is new information presented at each session. The primary goals of the classes is for those with diabetes and their families to understand of the importance of lifelong diabetes care for prevention of complications, and to feel that diabetes is a manageable disease that can work with their lifestyle. In the future, we hope to offer a review class for patients that have attended classes in the Diabetes Education Center.
The class format is based on the International Diabetes Center requirements and is recognized by the American Diabetes Association. Please call 304-598-4391 and press #1 for Connie Kyle to find out most current class schedule.
