Diabetes Education
Feeding tired or blue? Do your legs and feet burn, tingle or ache? Having problems with intimacy? Feeling guilty when you eat desserts or dine out? Up all night going to the bathroom? If you said yes to any of the above, you need to join our diabetes education program.
Knowledge is power. Through our program courses you will learn new skills and receive vital information to equip you to better manage your condition. Having your diabetes in control allows you to be healthier and live a fuller life. By attending class with others who deal with the same issues, you will not only gain life-saving information, but also motivation and support. Take the next step to a healthier life!
