Help control your diabetes and live a healthy lifestyle.

Diabetes is a complex chronic illness that requires ongoing monitoring to slow or prevent complications. This evidence-based program will help you gain confidence in your ability to manage your health and to maintain an active and fulfilling life.

Self-management classes are interactive and informative.

We offer both in-person and virtual classes so you can choose what works best for you. You will be able to interact with the instructor and others as you learn about ways to deal with your particular health issue effectively. Don’t put off taking care of your health. Sign up for a class today.

  • Appropriate use of medications
  • How to communicate effectively with family, friends, and health professionals
