The Basics of Caring for
People with Diabetes:
A training course for unlicensed staff in community settings



Tuesday, October 12th 9:00 am - 12:30 pm

Diabetes is a metabolic condition that has reached epidemic proportions. Many people living in community settings are diagnosed with diabetes and you may have responsibilities in helping them manage their disease.

The first step in developing an effective plan of care is to increase your knowledge about the treatment for this chronic disease.

Curriculum includes:

  • Medication Management
  • Modified Carbohydrate Diet
  • Exercise Program
  • Emotional Aspects of Care
  • Preventative Health Care

Working together to manage diabetes in community settings also requires that we have a general understanding of the effects of this chronic illness on the systems of the body. Learning about preventative care helps to improve the quality of living for the people you serve.

This class does not include training on
medical equipment or skill demonstration.

HCS offers on-site medical equipment training which is individualized to the specific equipment used for glucose testing and can include a demonstrated skill.
