Diabetes Teaching Supply Kit

Beginning Monday, June 22, all nursing units will be stocked with a "ready to go" Diabetes Supply Boxes. Wahoo! Inside each box, you will find tote bags filled with items that your may need for education.

The contents are available in English and Spanish, and they will include:

  • Educational video
  • Comprehensive diabetes reference guide
  • Meal planning guide and carb counter
  • Pedometer
  • Glucometer and instructions
  • Schedule of support groups and meetings

Patients may take these tote bags and their contents home. They are free of charge for patients who begin their diabetes education with us. The boxes are restocked by the flow nurses.

If you have any questions, please contact Emily W. @ ext. 2379.
