At our Southeast Diabetes Center, counseling and education opportunities are made available for adults, teens and children living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, prediabetes or gestational diabetes through our Strides for Diabetes Fund. We are committed to helping individuals and their families gain the skills and knowledge needed to manage their diabetes and live life to its fullest.
Camp DAY (Diabetes and Youth) Break for children with diabetes combines summer fun with a wonderful learning experience in coping with diabetes in the company of other children and teen volunteers who face similar life experiences. Knowledge about self-management and the practice of self-care skills promote competency and confidence.
Recognizing that family, friends and teachers can be involved in diabetes management, special programs to help grandparents, caregivers and educators better understand and care for children with diabetes are made available in the region.
