Kathryn MacDonald, Certified Diabetes Educator and Diabetes Educator Jean Booth of Headwaters Health Care Centre host grocery tours and pharmacy information days to help patients manage their diabetes and live well


 "As health care providers
we act as coaches and cheerleaders through listening, reflecting and having respect
for people's experiences with diabetes," says Diabetes Educator Jean Booth. "We support choices people make
in a non-judgmental manner that we hope helps build an ongoing, trusting relationship that enables them to care for their diabetes to the best of their abilities."
