Program Details (Back to Programs)

The East Wellington Diabetes Team includes Nurses and Dietitians, who provide education and support in group workshops and one-on-one appointments to patients and community residents with:

• Age 18 +
• Diagnosis of Prediabetes or any type of Diabetes
• Insulin starts and adjustments once insulin orders are received

The Team is not insulin pump certified and does not have an ADP approved physician.
