In addition, it makes diabetes education posters and publishes diabetes knowledge publications; offers insulin injection guidance and teaching sessions for self-monitoring of blood glucose machines; organizes juvenile diabetes patients and family get-togethers; promotes the 72-hour continuous glucose monitor examination and insulin pump, with the goal of giving a full range of nursing and nutritional care.

The center is tasked with a simple mission: to "bring long-term and continuous improvement in quality of life for diabetics, including type 1 and type 2 and gestational diabetes." This common goal connects the center’s clinical treatment with education closely to become a unique integrated service item in hospital facilities. Our clinical therapists and staff members provide high-standard diabetes care for patients with premium, interdisciplinary medical combinations, in order to offer every patient the latest and appropriate treatment.
