The Sunnybrook Diabetes Education Centre was established to promote an increased awareness of diabetes and its management. The program provides information on the medical, nutritional and lifestyle issues associated with diabetes. Individual dietetic counselling is available 3-4 weeks after the program.
Meals are available in the hospital cafeteria.
Reduced hospital parking is available. A dietitian and a nurse staff the program. A 3-day group program runs from Monday to Wednesday and covers practical aspects of diabetes management. There are separate programs for those who take insulin and those who do not. These programs are developed on an individual basis depending on the audience.
