Education and support

Our goals are to provide participants with diabetes self-management skills and knowledge to achieve and maintain blood glucose control, to initiate lifestyle changes, and to promote the continuation of wellness. You may bring a friend or relative to any program.

Diabetes education is covered by most insurance companies when deemed necessary and with primary care physician referral. Call 1-888-456-7546 for information on classes.
