Managing your unique health needs can feel overwhelming — but it’s a lot easier with the support of local specialists.

When Kaitlin, a COLAtoday team member, started feeling overwhelmed by her diabetes symptoms, she knew she needed extra support. Enter: Prisma Health’s Diabetes Self-Management Program.

Kaitlin met with Kathy Fincher, a registered dietitian + certified diabetes care and education specialist, for an insightful and empowering session where she got her questions answered. During the private appointment, Kaitlin learned about all aspects of managing diabetes. Think:

  • Monitoring blood sugar + what to do if it’s too high or low
  • Healthy eating and meal planning
  • Using an insulin pump
  • Managing sick days
  • Reducing the risk of complications
  • And more

This comprehensive program is available (with a physician’s referral) at multiple locations in and around the Midlands. Whether you’re living with diabetes or just looking to learn more, these specialist sessions offer valuable tips and insights.

Pro tip: You can use these virtual diabetes resources right away.
