Diabetes Learning CenterDedicated exclusively to the care of people who have diabetes, the Diabetes Learning Center is designed to support effective and affordable medical management of diabetes. The DLC educational program starts with a referral from your physician. The staff at the DLC can provide diabetes education to patients of all physicians in Topeka and northeast Kansas. Active patient participation is a key focus of our approach. Each individual and family will be provided services which respect their uniqueness and human dignity, while offering consideration of their financial concerns, personal learning needs and preferences in making lifestyle changes. The DLC provides patients and their families with easy access to group classes and educational materials on diabetes, including medications, nutrition, exercise, handling emergencies, personal adjustment, stress management and complications of diabetes. Individual education is available for patients with special needs or when more appropriate than the group instruction. We also offer special programs for women who have gestational diabetes, for children and youth, and for women with pre-existing diabetes who want to plan a pregnancy.
