The evidence behind
the outcomes
Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) is the cornerstone of effective diabetes care. Following standards set by the American Diabetes Association and the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists, DSMES equips people living with diabetes with the knowledge and practical skills to manage their condition confidently.
CAPPA's DSMES offering is delivered digitally but maintains the clinical rigor of in-person programs. Participants receive individualized education, peer group support, and access to credentialed educators — removing the barriers of geography, schedule, and transportation that keep too many from receiving the care they need.
