Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) is available to you if you have already been diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes by your health care provider. No deductible, no co-insurance, and no additional cost to you! DSMES is an educational program for diabetes self-care, as developed through evidence-based practices. DSMES can be taught in a group or an individual setting and can be offered in person or online. Services are typically provided by a registered dietitian or a certified diabetes educator.
The DSMES program format includes weekly classes that focus on learning to eat healthier, being physically active, monitoring blood sugar levels, coping with the emotional side of diabetes, problem solving, reducing the risk for other health problems, and many other related topics.
Ask your physician about how to find a DSMES provider near you or search the Diabetes Prevention and Control Program at the Cabinet for Health and Family Services website (chfs.ky.gov).
