The diabetes program at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) includes comprehensive counseling and education for people with type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. We help people manage their health to prevent short and long term complications. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have had diabetes for some time, we offer a wide range of services to meet your needs. Your primary care doctor or endocrinologist can refer you to the program.

Our program is recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) and Sweet Success. To promote quality education for people with diabetes, the ADA endorses the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education. To support this goal, the Education Recognition Program assesses whether applicants meet the National Standards and maintains strict monitoring and oversight.

1. One-on-One Counseling & Education
2. Groups & Classes
   • Pre-diabetes
   • Gestational Diabetes
