Text Box: Recent funding from the Ontario Ministry of
Health and Long-Term Care has allowed Black
Creek CHC to hire staff that will develop
and deliver a community Diabetes Education
Program. This program will provide diabetes
education and management tools to clients with
diabetes, pre-diabetes and those at risk for
developing diabetes.

Objectives: To help people living with diabetes manage their condition, and optimize their quality of health by providing diabetes information and access to community resources.
Team: The Diabetes Education Team will include two Diabetes Nurse Educators, a Registered Dietitian, Community Health Worker, and a Diabetes Project Coordinator.
Clients: Community residents living / working within Black Creek CHC’s catchment area who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes (Impaired Fasting Glucose or Impaired Glucose Tolerance), and those who are at risk for developing diabetes.
In the New Year, the program will consist of Group Classes and Individual Counselling offered at Black Creek CHC, and an off-site location. These sessions will cover a variety of topics
including blood glucose monitoring, meal planning and
healthy eating for diabetes, foot care, stress and coping
skills, exercise, and diabetes medications.
Additional programs will be developed throughout the
year depending upon the needs of the community.
Currently, a Registered Dietitian is available for Individual
Counselling appointments for clients diagnosed with
diabetes, or pre-diabetes.
