Sharp offers a variety of educational classes for patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes through its Diabetes Education Program.

Events and seminars are scheduled throughout the year to help you manage your condition and cover such topics as the latest news and treatments, diabetes and pregnancy, healthy eating, management and more.

Sharp HealthCare provides pregnant women with gestational, Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes with all the support necessary to have a healthy pregnancy. Sharp’s Diabetes Education for Pregnant Women Program is an outpatient education program to help women successfully manage this disease.

Sharp now offers CarePagesSM — a free online service for patients to share their stories, post photos and update others instantly about the birth of a baby, a serious medical condition or news of recovery. Patients can create a personal CarePages website within minutes, or designate someone to create one on their behalf, and immediately begin to share information and photos with loved ones.
