Our Diabetes Services include an extensive list of educational programs recognized by the American Diabetes Association throughout the year, including Diabetes Education classes, Pre-Diabetes classes and support groups.
Each Diabetes Education class consists of five, two-hour classes. The sessions are offered during the day from Noon to 2 pm, and again in the evening from 6 to 8 pm. Registration is required. A fee is included and will be billed to your insurance. Our certified diabetes educators cover a variety of topics, including:
Pre-Diabetes classes are appropriate for you if you have not yet been officially diagnosed with diabetes, but have a fasting glucose of 100 to 125. In this two-part class, the first part includes information on physical activity, promoting weight loss, meal planning and blood glucose monitoring. The second class reviews meal plans, food labels, shopping for and preparing healthy meals. The second class is optional; however, you must take the first class before taking the second class. Registration is required. The fee is $40 for the complete program or $20 for class 1 only.
Our Diabetes Services offers Adult Diabetes and Insulin Pump support groups for both patients and family members who are living with diabetes or using an insulin pump. If you are interested in joining a support group, please call Diabetes Services at 215.345.2168.
Individual, one-hour appointments are available for instruction on glucose monitor use, insulin or other injectable administration, gestational diabetes and insulin pump initiation. A fee is associated with the appointment and is billed to insurance. Insulin pump instruction generally requires multiple visits.
Inpatient Diabetes Education
For inpatients at Doylestown Hospital, a diabetes consult can be ordered by a nurse or physician. Consults are individualized, and experts advise you or your family members on home glucose monitoring techniques, insulin administration, and signs and symptoms of hyper- and hypoglycemia.
