Education

Patient Education

Metabolic Leader provides the tools patients need to manage their condition, starting with a solid foundation in disease education. We collaborate with Certified Diabetes Educators and Dieticians to assist patients with developing the tools and skills necessary to control their diabetes. From basic diabetes education and glucose monitoring to meal planning and exercise programs, our CDE collaborators are qualified to provide clinical and emotional support for patients to avoid long-term complications and work toward effective self-management.

We consult Registered Dietitian services for those in need of medical nutritional therapy. Registered Dietitians are food and nutritional experts which can educate patients in the most effective way to shop for and choose food that will aid in managing diseases such as diabetes and high cholesterol conditions.

We offer printed educational materials to our patients to help them understand their diagnosis and treatment plans. Patient summaries from each office visit are available to our patients to assist in recalling the details of each appointment. These resources are helpful for involving family members in the treatment process.

Staff and Healthcare Professionals Education

Metabolic Leader hosts a number of educational topics to keep our staff and local healthcare professionals apprised of the latest in medical advances and best practices, in a variety of formats throughout the year.
