Diabetes Education

At wellLIFE: A Diabetes Clinic and Educational Resource Center, we understand the importance of educating our clients about diabetes.  Education is a form of learning and a form of developing memories and behaviors, including skills, knowledge, understanding, values, and wisdom.

At wellLIFE, we emphasize learning through several steps.  Those steps range from simple forms of habituation to more complex forms such as activity.

At wellLIFE, we offer an educational and informative curriculum which consists of a program of six educational sessions offered quarterly.  Classes are held weekly at our Raleigh facility.  Classes are also offered online via the website. The curriculum includes an overview of diabetes, the psychosocial aspects of diabetes, exercise and nutrition, medication/insulin management, and courses on the complications associated with diabetes.  At wellLIFE we bring diabetes to LIFE:  Learn, Identify, Fight and be Empowered!
