Diabetes is complicated. We are here to help.

Our Diabetes Self-Management Education program at Putnam Hospital offers counseling specific to diabetes-related nutrition plus other services to support your good health. To help improve health outcomes, the American Diabetes Association recommends utilizing recognized programs like ours at four critical times*:

  • With a new diagnosis of diabetes

  • Annually for health maintenance and prevention of complications

  • When new complicating factors influence self-management

  • When transitions in care occur

Ask your doctor for a referral to visit us.

We are the Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists at Putnam Hospital in Carmel, New York. We tailor each DSMES/T visit to you and your individual self-care needs. Topics may include:
