Sutter's Diabetes Care Center provides the continuum of care for all patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The programs, recognized by the American Diabetes Association, empower patients to take charge of their health care by working with patients and their families to design a treatment plan that works for them. The patient works with an interdisciplinary team that may consist of the patient’s physician, certified diabetes educators (CDE’s), dietitions, nurses, social workers, exercise physiologist, and pharmacists to help patients live full and healthy lives. Services of the center include an insulin pump program for adults and teens.
