DIABETES SELF-MANAGEMENT CLASSES
The Diabetes Management Center offers diabetes self-management classes to provide you and your family with the latest and most important findings and techniques to keep you healthy.

Presented by a registered nurse and a registered dietitian, our classes address everything you need to stay healthy from head to toe, including: the basics of diabetes; nutrition and meal planning; medicines and diabetes; physical activity; diabetes specific health problems; monitoring your blood sugar; preventing future health problems and much more.

An appointment needs to be scheduled with the nurse educator for an assessment prior to attending classes. Individual counseling is also available.
