Located in Orem, Utah, Center for Change provides 24 hour, 7 day a week diabulimia treatment, nursing, and dietary care which moves patients from unstable blood sugars that are generated by their eating disorder, through the re-feeding process into stable blood sugars and towards a healthy and individualized weight range. In addition to nursing staff, we have physicians and nurse practitioners who evaluate patients consistently and provide medical interventions related to their specific needs. Center for Change has a Certified Diabetic Educator on staff that performs weekly assessments for each patient with diabetes. The CDE is also available for consultation with the other medical team members. Collaboration and consultation occurs on a weekly basis with outside medical specialists, such as the patient’s endocrinologist, to ensure the best individualized care and treatment are provided for each unique patient.
