Diabetes Education Centre

The purpose of the Diabetes Education Centre is to provide assessment, education and support to individuals affected by diabetes and their families/support systems in a multidisciplinary out-patient setting.

Referrals are accepted from physicians as well as other health care professionals. Appointments are required. The diabetes education and support team members include Registered Dietitians, Registered Nurses and a Registered Social Worker. Individual consultation, group education classes, and diabetes awareness presentations are available.

The North Bay office is a full time service and offers access to specialized diabetes services including diabetes & pregnancy counselling; a provincially designated paediatric diabetes program; and an insulin pump program.

Satellite offices are located in Mattawa and Sturgeon Falls and operate on a part-time basis.
