Helping You Live Well with Diabetes
Riverside Diabetes Services is here to help each person navigate their journey with diabetes. We offer classes and education to help empower individuals to better manage their diabetes.
Recognized by the American Diabetes Association, our classes are always led by certified diabetes education specialists (CDESs). CDESs are either registered nurses (RNs) or registered dieticians (RDs) who have completed specialty training in diabetes education and counseling.
The Diabetes Services team works with individuals living with prediabetes, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes , whether they were newly diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for years.
Classes are designed to help people at all stages of living with diabetes. While some classes are held in groups, other educational offerings are one on one. Insurance covers many classes.
