The Diabetes and Nutrition Center (DANC) at East Alabama Health has a team of certified professionals who specialize in diabetes and understand your needs. The team includes nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists, and they work with you and your physician to give you the services you need to effectively manage your diabetes. They also offer classes and counseling on healthy eating, and provide services to help with weight loss and weight management.
