Sanford Diabetes Center

The mission of the Sanford Diabetes Center in Bismarck is to make a difference in the lives of our clients by achieving the best possible outcomes through ongoing education and support.

Our goal is to teach and prepare our patients to properly care for themselves. Good care involves proper meal planning, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring and use of medications including insulin.

The need for a quality Diabetes Center is greater today than ever before. Sanford Health pioneered diabetes education and management programs in North Dakota 25 years ago. In fact, in the past 40 years, the number of cases of diabetes has increased from 1.5 million to more than eight million.

The Sanford Diabetes Center was developed to help prevent and delay the onset of diabetes and its complications by providing a team approach to diabetes self management. Come join us, and let's work together to take control of your diabetes so it doesn't take control of you.
