Recognizing how important education and support programs are to diabetes self management and, in turn, to controlling healthcare costs and maximizing the value of every healthcare investment, CDS has partnered with many managed care organizations to offer specially designed programs to assist their health plan members who have diabetes. CDS programs will assist your members with the proper management of their diabetes, thus reducing complications and associated expense.

CDS Diabetes Self-Management Education Program
The CDS Diabetes Self-Management Education Program is a comprehensive workshop that teaches people with diabetes to better manage their diabetes and maintain a better quality of life. Understanding the diabetes process will allow the patient to monitor and respond appropriately to daily fluctuations of blood glucose, thus maintaining better control over the disease process.

Taught by certified diabetes educators, registered dietitians and registered nurses, the workshop is scheduled for two five-hour sessions. The Program includes resource materials and a free Ascensia blood glucose meter from Bayer Healthcare.

CDS is proud to be one of the largest ADA Recognized Diabetes Education Providers in the nation. We offer multiple site locations for class in several different states.
