One On One Diabetes Education

Patients can benefit greatly from the 1:1 sessions because the plan of care is individualized.  The educator uses a comprehensive diabetes book to lead the patients through the education, discussing topics such as diabetes process, blood sugar monitoring, preventing complications, medication management, exercise and nutrition.  A flexible meal plan is designed specifically for each patient.  Patients can also ask questions or express feelings they may not feel comfortable talking about in a group setting.

Education of the following topics is provided to patients during individual sessions:

    • Initial diabetes education
    • Diabetes refresher
    • Meter instruction
    • Insulin instruction or adjustment
    • Carbohydrate counting
    • Pre-diabetes (patients with higher-than-normal blood sugars, but not high enough to be considered diabetes at this time)

To schedule an appointment for one on one diabetes education, please contact Lindsey Coffman R.D., L.D. at (816) 842-4440 ext. 167 or e-mail her at lcoffman@clayplattefamily.com.
