Diabetes Centre - Annapolis Royal, NS
Diabetes Centre - Annapolis Royal, NS
We are the diabetes center (DC) that serves Annapolis Royal and surrounding areas. We provide information on all aspects of how to care for diabetes. This is tailored to people with diabetes and their interested family members as well as other health professionals.
We promote self-management to enhance your quality of life and to reduce the risk of developing diabetes complications. We work closely with other community agencies to provide comprehensive diabetes care for our area.
We are open on Thursdays and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
To make an appointment or ask about our services, please call us at (902) 532–2381 ext. 149. Your first appointment will be made after your doctor has referred you to our program. The staff of the diabetes program will arrange follow-up appointments.
If you have diabetes (type 1 or 2 – adult, child, adolescent, or young adult), are pregnant and have diabetes, or have been told you have a mild form of diabetes (pre-diabetes), we would be more than happy to assist you in managing your diabetes.
We provide a number of ways to learn about your diabetes. All of these start with an individual appointment where your needs are discussed with the nurse and dietitian. We offer:
* Individual instruction.
* Insulin initiation. (If needed, we can help you learn about insulin and teach you to start taking your insulin. You may not need to be admitted to the hospital.)
* Information sessions for community groups
