Carroll Hospital Center offers a number of programs to help those with diabetes, including:
 
Insulin Initiation and Dosing Services
Diabetes patients who require insulin injections will benefit from this hands-on private session. Learn how to:
  • Appropriately dose and inject insulin
  • Treat hypoglycemia and
  • Achieve optimum glucose control

Most patients take this session plus other education programs for the best possible management of their diabetes.

The Diabetes Center at Carroll Hospital Center offers insulin pump adjustment for diabetes management, which is appropriate for all ages, including children. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 410-871-6957.
 
If you have diabetes and are planning to conceive, Carroll Hospital Center strongly recommends preconception counseling to ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby. You’ll learn to establish good blood control during pregnancy and how to make essential diet, exercise and medication modifications.

Gestational Diabetes Management (Diabetes During Pregnancy)
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that some women develop during pregnancy. While most women with this condition deliver healthy babies, careful monitoring is important. Patients referred for gestational diabetes are seen for an initial two-hour session, with follow-up sessions scheduled as needed. You’ll learn how to best control your diabetes and stay healthy through a combination of nutrition, exercise and regular glucose monitoring. When appropriate, we also assist with insulin injections and self-administration techniques.

This group gives those with diabetes the opportunity to meet others facing similar challenges, as well as to share information and experiences related to the disease. Led by one of our certified diabetes educators, the group meets monthly and features occasional guest speakers. Connect to our Education and Events calendar containing support group dates.

Diabetes Workshop
At this free, annual event, you’ll have the opportunity to see and test the latest products to help you improve your quality of life, control your blood sugar and live more comfortably with diabetes. Participants also enjoy giveaways, door prizes, vendor displays and a healthy lunch.

Carroll Hospital Center also offers wound care services at the Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine. Call 410-871-6348.
