Diabetes is a progressive disease that can lead to serious health problems. Although you cannot cure diabetes, you can lower your risk of developing complications from the disease by making healthy lifestyle choices and seeing your doctor regularly.

To help you learn to make the right choices, CHRISTUS Hospital–St. Elizabeth and St. Mary provides a comprehensive diabetes management program called Diabetes Lifestyle. Our dedicated staff, which includes certified diabetes educators, nurses and dietitians, provides counseling and educational programs to both children and adults. Along with representatives from the American Diabetes Association, our teaching staff may also include an endocrinologist and a podiatrist.

CHRISTUS Hospital-St. Elizabeth and St. Mary Diabetes Lifestyle Program is recognized by the American Diabetes Association and is the only program in the area that is accredited by the Joint Commission as a Disease Specific Care Certified Program.

How to Enroll In Our Diabetes Lifestyle Program

Enrollment in our Diabetes Lifestyle Program requires a physician referral. Medicare and most insurance plans cover the cost of a portion of diabetes education.

When you enroll, you’ll meet with our diabetes educator who will make a thorough, one-on-one assessment to assist you in setting personal diabetes management goals.
