What Are Diabetes Self Management Classes?
Diabetes is a common condition related to the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. While this is a very common condition, there is no cure. However, it is treatable and manageable.
Group Diabetes Education Classes
Our diabetes self management classes exist to help you explore your options to best manage your condition. Common management techniques for diabetes include:
- Balanced diet
- Checking all nutrition labels
- Drinking plenty of water
- Eating plenty of fiber
- Exercising regularly
- Limiting sugar intake
- Regularly checking blood sugar
It is important to keep in mind the management techniques will vary for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. While our diabetes self management classes can help you in a broad sense, it is important to also regularly visit your primary care provider.
What Are Weight Management Classes?
