You Can Thrive with Diabetes!
Whether you are new to having diabetes or have had it for years, our GAHHS Diabetes Support Services team is available to help you learn ways to manage diabetes that fit your life.

GAHHS has a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) with the experience, training, and skills to help you successfully manage all aspects of your diabetes.
It is recommended that people with diabetes see a CDCES at these times:
When you’re diagnosed with diabetes
At least once per year or when you are struggling to meet your goals
When new complicating factors arise
During changes in your life and care
Want to feel empowered to better manage your diabetes? Ask your provider about a referral to GAHHS Diabetes Support Services. Our Team is dedicated to providing you with the support you need to live your best life!

Gibson Area Hospital's Diabetes Support Services program is accredited by the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES). Accreditation represents a high level of quality and service to the community, and the ability to better meet the needs of Medicare recipients and others affected by diabetes in central Illinois.
ADCES is a National Accredited Organization (NAO) for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Accredited programs must meet the 2022 National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support; 6 standards that are revised every 5 years by a group of diabetes educators representing both ADCES and the American Diabetes Association and approved by CMS. Programs must maintain compliance with the Standards during the 4-year accreditation cycle.
