Diabetes Education
The most important thing you need to know about diabetes is that it can be managed and controlled. The educators at the Diabetes Wellness Center can provide you with all the information and skills you need to manage this complicated disease.
Individual and group classes are available which cover pathophysiology of diabetes, nutrition, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, insulin therapy, ways to help prevent long-term complications, and information on new treatment techniques.
We can help you learn how to take good care of yourself, and help you deal with the day-to-day challenges of living with diabetes. Controlling diabetes is in your hands. Information is the key. The more knowledge you have, the better you will be able to manage your diabetes, and the better you will feel.
Day and evening classes are available for your convenience.
