Whether you have pre-diabetes, are newly diagnosed, or are coping with gestational diabetes, South Shore Health can help you make changes that will allow you to better manage your diabetes and improve your quality of life.

We offer certified programs in two locations. The Diabetes Center at South Shore Hospital has registered nurse diabetes educators and dietitians that offer expert instruction to mothers managing gestational diabetes.
