Diabetes Care and Control Center

Diabetes self-management education is the hallmark of care at the Saint Peter's Diabetes Care and Control Center (DCCC).

Private counseling sessions tailor a plan of care to each individual's needs, and outpatient group classes are held to help reinforce good self-management practices. Our multidisciplinary staff includes:

• Board-certified endocrinologists
• Certified diabetes educators
• Licensed clinical social workers
• Registered dietitians
• Registered nurses

Together, our team provides diagnosis; education; medication, including the insulin pump; nutrition counseling; diagnostic continuous monitoring; exercise counseling; and psychological counseling. We also offer a full range of support services through the many specialties available at Saint Peter's, such as wound care, podiatry and dialysis.

The DCCC is located in Saint Peter's Center for Ambulatory Resources (CARES) building.
