Diabetes Center

The FMH Diabetes Center is located in the FMH Wellness Center in the FSK Mall 5500 Buckeystown Pike Frederick, Maryland  21703

Diabetes has been described as a worldwide epidemic with the numbers of patients rising everywhere.  In the United States it is the sixth leading cause of death by disease, and affects almost 17 million Americans.  Frederick County surpasses the national average.

These statistics are alarming, considering the serious effects on the body when the disease is “out of control” or left untreated.  Complications such as kidney failure, heart disease, stroke and blindness can result.

But there is hope and help available.  At the FMH Diabetes Center, our highly skilled team of diabetes clinicians can teach you how to live well with diabetes.  Working with your healthcare provider, our team will assess your needs and create a plan of care to improve your quality of life on a daily basis, as well as to prevent the long-term complications of the disease.

Frederick Memorial Hospital is committed to providing optimal healthcare services to people with diabetes.  We have developed a comprehensive approach to diabetes education and management.  Services are provided by our team of experienced diabetes clinicians in both the hospital setting and in our outpatient center.

Fees

Many insurance companies recognize that diabetes education can prevent or delay the complications that result from uncontrolled diabetes.  Many will reimburse for diabetes self-management education.  At the time that you are registered at the Diabetes Center, insurance verification is obtained or a payment plan is created.
