Diabetes Education-Kitchener Downtown Community Health Centr

Diabetes Education Program at Langs, sponsored by the Community Diabetes Program, Waterloo Region, offers education and support for individuals managing Type 1, Type 2, gestational diabetes, and pre-diabetes. Patients are empowered to make lifestyle choices that control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. The program provides a range of services including individual appointments, group education, physical activity classes, and support for diabetes in pregnancy.

With a focus on holistic care, Langs offers virtual, in-person, and hybrid appointment options to cater to diverse patient needs. Certified Diabetes Educators guide patients in insulin management, carb counting, heart health, label reading, and glycemic control. Additional services include chiropody, foot care, retinal screening, specialist clinics, and insulin pump management.

The program serves adults with pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes, and both newly diagnosed and existing Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Family members and support persons are encouraged to attend appointments. Patients can initiate their journey by attending a pre-diabetes education session, completing an online intake form, or self-referring to the program. Langs strives to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively manage their diabetes and lead healthier lives.
