American Diabetes AssociationLiving well with diabetes is as individual as you are. That is why The Diabetes Center at Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital offers a program that begins with a private one-on-one session with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. You will receive an assessment of your diabetes needs as well as tools to help you achieve your personal health goals. After your first appointment, we offer you continued sessions based on your specific needs.
