Diabetes Self-Management Services at Ciba Health Inc. Earns Recognition from the American Diabetes Association

The ADA's Education Recognition Program certification ensures quality diabetes education and support for people living with diabetes.

NY, NY (November 13, 2025) - Today, the American Diabetes Association^® (ADA)-the nation's leading organization committed to fighting diabetes-announced the recognition of Diabetes Self-Management Services at Ciba Health Inc. through their Education Recognition Program (ERP). The diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) service was originally recognized in October of 2025.

The ADA's ERP certificate assures that educational services meet the National Standards for DSMES. The corresponding intervention provided is evidence-based and outcome driven. Services apply for recognition voluntarily and ADA-ERP recognition lasts for four years.

"Receiving ADA recognition is a meaningful milestone for our team and the people we serve," said Dr. Innocent Clement, CEO of Ciba Health. "Our goal is to empower people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes to understand what's happening in their bodies, address the root causes of their health challenges, and make sustainable choices that give them real control over their well-being. Being recognized by the ADA reinforces that our approach meets the highest standards for diabetes prevention, education, and support."

"DSMES is essential part of managing diabetes and is as effective as diabetes medication. Therefore, all people with diabetes benefit from it," said Barbara Eichorst, MS, RD, CDCES, the ADA's vice president of health programs. "We applaud Diabetes Self-Management Services at Ciba Health for its commitment to providing value-based interventions such as DSMES, maximizing corresponding outcomes, and patient experience."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) National Diabetes Fact Sheet, there are over 38 million people, or 11.6%, of the U.S. population who have diabetes. While an estimated 29.7 million have been diagnosed, unfortunately 8.7 million people are not aware they have this disease. Each day, nearly 3,300 Americans are diagnosed with diabetes. Many will first learn they have diabetes when they are treated for one of its life-threatening complications-heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve disease, or amputation. Diabetes is the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S.-in 2021, it contributed to 399,401 deaths. The ADA's Economic Costs of Diabetes in the U.S. in 2022 report confirms diabetes continues to be one of the nation's most expensive chronic health care conditions with an estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes of $412.9 billion.
