Advances in treatment
There are many new tools available to help you take care of your diabetes. For example, people that use insulin, whether they have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, may benefit from insulin pump therapy. The Providence Diabetes Center has a comprehensive insulin pump training and management program.
CGM, or continuous glucose monitoring, is another tool available at the Providence Diabetes Center. You may be a candidate for CGM if you are taking multiple daily injections or using pump therapy. Ask your health care provider for a referral to the Providence Diabetes Center to take advantage of this cutting edge technology that can help improve your diabetes control.
Help during pregnancy
If your health care provider has told you that you have gestational diabetes, you're probably concerned about what this can mean for you and your baby. The Providence Diabetes Center has a gestational diabetes education program for you. You can spend time with a registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator who has expert knowledge in meal planning and blood glucose management during pregnancy. Ask your health care provider for a referral to the Providence Diabetes Center for an appointment.
