Managing diabetes involves so much more than simply taking a pill. Our self-management classes explain how diabetes affects the body and what behavior and lifestyle changes can help manage the condition. Health educators who specialize in diabetes teach what diabetes is, how to monitor blood glucose, proper nutrition, exercise, medications, goal setting and stress management. Classes are offered as one full day or a series of four weekly sessions, and are taught in English or Spanish, face to face and online.
After class, participants are scheduled for a four and eight months follow up visit to assess progress and provide ongoing support along a journey to improved health.
After completing this class, you will be eligible to enroll in a free 12-week exercise program with a certified strength and conditioning specialist. Your trainer will conduct an individualized fitness assessment and tailor an exercise program specific to your goals. Learn more.
