Diabetes is a disease that can affect the entire body and the whole family. The Diabetes Self-Management Training Program at Medical Clinic of Houston, L.L.P. is recognized by the American Diabetes Association*  and aims to provide you and your family with tools to enhance your overall health with diabetes. Our program is designed to help you learn how to make informed choices in daily living, set and meet behavior change goals, and reduce the risk of complications from diabetes.

A Certified Diabetes Educator will lead you through individual and/or group training sessions to ensure each of your unique goals are met. The program provides training on the seven recommended self-care behaviors:

Monitoring Blood Glucose

Taking blood glucose test can be an excellent way to manage your diabetes and can help reduce risk of complications! Do you know what your blood sugar should be in the morning? What about after a meal? If you don't know where you are, you don't know where you're going.

null

Healthy Eating

Did you know following a diabetes meal plan can help lower A1c, cholesterol, and help you lose or maintain weight?

Exercise

Exercise doesn't have to be done in a gym with fancy clothes or equipment, but a daily routine that includes physical activity can help control blood sugars, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and manage weight.

Taking Medications

Many people with diabetes require prescription drugs in addition to healthy eating and physical activity to manage their health. Learn how medications work to manage blood sugars.
