Amador County –The Outpatient Diabetes Education Program at Sutter Amador Hospital was recently awarded continued recognition from the American Diabetes Association. The program, which was originally recognized in May of 2000, offers high-quality diabetes education services to patients from Amador County and the surrounding areas. “Through our diabetes education program, patients with diabetes are taught the skills they need to manage their own diabetes,” says Dr. Geraldine O’Shea, the program Medical Director. “And,” she added, “because we are recognized by the American Diabetes Association, patients and their providers can be confident knowing they are being cared for by professionals who have met and comply with National Standards.” All diabetes education programs approved by the ADA cover the following topics as needed: diabetes disease process; nutritional management; physical activity; medications; monitoring; preventing, detecting and treating acute complications; preventing, detecting and treating chronic complications through risk reduction; goal setting and problem soling; psychological adjustment; and preconception care, management during pregnancy and gestational management. Patients from both Amador and Calaveras counties can take advantage of SAH’s ADA-recognized diabetes program by being referred by their health care provider. A monthly diabetes support group, which meets the fourth Thursday of each month at the hospital, is also available and is offered free to all members of the community. If you are newly diagnosed with diabetes or have been a person with diabetes for many years, call to learn about the newest up-to-date information on how to manage your diabetes.
