Program Goals

The Trios Diabetes Education program is designed to help you:

  • Prevent complications. There are many possible diabetes-related health complications. These complications can often be prevented, or significantly reduced, through proper blood glucose level management. Our program gives you the information and tools you need to expertly manage your diabetes.
  • Improve and maintain quality of life. Our goal is to help you live a life free of diabetes-related complications. With proper self-management, you can enjoy a long, full, rewarding life.
  • Minimize diabetes-related healthcare costs. Effective diabetes self-management costs much less than treatment for complications associated with poorly controlled diabetes.
