These classes provide patients with everything they need to know to manage their diabetes in a hands on learning environment.  Information is provided on eating right, medications, being active, complications, sick care, and stress relief.  The class is taught by a certified diabetes educator, a pharmacist, an exercise specialist, and a behavioral health professional.  At these classes patients will also receive a self management book, a glucose monitor if they do not already have one, and either an exercise or gardening starter kit.  To work with our patients' schedules the diabetes classes offered at three different times during the week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:00am -12:00 noon.  The classes take place at the John D. Bentley Center for Health and Wellness (630 W. Kearney).
