Living with diabetes can be challenging. But at Rumford Hospital, you’ll find the personalized education and support you need to manage your condition with confidence.  Successful self-care begins with a healthy eating plan. If you need to lose weight, our registered dietitian will help you design an eating program to help you achieve your goals. If you’re already at a healthy weight, we’ll work with you on a food plan to maintain your weight and give you energy and focus.

A certified diabetes educator will arm you with the skills and strategies you need to live your best every day. Together, you’ll review:

• How to accurately monitor your glucose and operate your insulin pump, if necessary
• How to “normalize” your stress levels, relax and enjoy moderate exercise
• All of the medications in your treatment plan, and how they’ll help you
• How to care for your feet and eyes
• Social adjustments you might consider
• More ways to successfully overcome obstacles
