Diabetes Education Program    

The Diabetes Education Program at Santa Rosa Medical Center provides comprehensive diabetes education for all patients with diabetes. 

Patients with type 2 diabetes receive 8 hours of education in a small class setting.  Classes are limited to a maximum of 10 patients so that each patient can receive personalized attention. 

Patients who are on insulin, who are pregnant, or have other special needs may be seen individually.
