Program Highlights:

Somerset County Health Department has joined with the National Diabetes Education program (NDEP), the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and locally with McCready Health Services Foundation, Atlantic General Hospital (AGH), and Three Lower Counties (TLC) to provide diabetes services among the Somerset and Worcester County. Appropriate diabetes management care allows the client to modify habits that might prevent complications in the future. The Somerset County Health Department offers a diabetes health clinic for the community.

The clinic is held every other Monday, 8:30 AM - Noon. Individual will receive American Diabetes Association (ADA) paper risk assessment test, blood pressure screening, along with an HbA1c and blood glucose test. Both blood tests are non-fasting and are finger-sticks.

A consultation with a registered dietitian and diabetes educator is available as well. For those clients that meet requirements and are in need of diabetes supplies and medications, this program can help too.
