Center For Diabetes And Nutrition Education
Center For Diabetes And Nutrition Education
Our diabetes and nutrition center educates patients on diabetes self-management through one-on-one and group sessions. The information learned in these sessions empowers our patients to take control of their diabetes and live healthy lives. We also educate patients on nutrition to help with weight management, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other conditions.
The staff is composed of Dietitians and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES) Anna Reinwand and Michele Hale.
Our program is recognized by the American Diabetes Association.
Our Certified Diabetes Educators offer in-depth one-on-one and group classes. They provide education, coaching and support to patients and families to help manage diabetes and live healthy lives.

Uninsured patients are welcome to attend a free, monthly, two-hour “Survival Skills” class. Our goal is to improve the health of all Tulsa residents.
A doctor’s referral order is needed for all consults and classes. Diabetes Education and Medical Nutrition Therapy for Diabetes are covered by Medicare and many insurance carriers. For more information or to schedule an individual outpatient appointment or a group class, call 918-599-5823.
