Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME)

FREE information day for people with Type 2 Diabetes

DSME helps you better understand diabetes, its causes, and how to maintain/better your health. This day is run in small groups so you can get the most from it and ask questions in a safe environment.

The course is run by a diabetes nurse educator and dietitian (with Podiatrist and Health Psychologist support) and covers:

  • Healthy eating: label reading, good and bad fats, food choices
  • How to stop/control the effects of diabetes on the body (heart/eyes/kidneys/nerves/feet)
  • Medications – how they work and new choices available
  • Understanding your blood test results
  • Goal setting (action planning and free support available)
  • How to work with your health team

You are welcome to bring a family member or friend to support you. Refreshments are provided. Registration is essential. Please contact Margot McDonald using the details below.
