Lee Diabetes Care is a comprehensive program
designed to help you achieve the delicate balance needed to control your
diabetes with proper nutrition (carbohydrate counting),
medication, exercise, and stress control.
Lee Diabetes Care is an excellent resource for people with diabetes
at any stage.
We offer a complete program of treatment and consultation services, through
both inpatient and outpatient care. The Certified Diabetes Educators at Lee Diabetes Care help you
control diabetes, rather than it controlling you...resulting in a
healthier and more problem-free life. Our full-time educators work with
your doctor to develop a treatment plan that can improve your life today
and reduce the risk of complications.
Since 1987, the American Diabetes
Association has recognized Lee Diabetes Care for quality patient education in accordance with the
National Standards for Diabetes Patient Education Programs.
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations awarded Lee Diabetes Care a Certificate of
Distinction in 2002 and again in 2004 based on a review of
compliance with national standards, clinical guidelines, and
care outcomes.

Comments from our patients after completing the
class:
