Diabetes Care & Education

Diabetes Care & Education

24 million Americans—nearly one in 12—have diabetes. It is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States. Here in New Hampshire, about 84,500 adults are living with Type I or Type II diabetes.

Our NCH affiliates are committed to helping people with diabetes live longer, healthier lives through diabetes care, education and lifestyle management programs. The goal is to provide medical services and empower patients with knowledge to better manage diabetes.  Diabetes control reduces the risk of diabetes complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness and amputation. Diabetes is controllable – you can do it, and we can help.
