The goal of the class is to help people understand diabetes, keep it under control to prevent complications, and promote health and longevity.
The class covers such diabetes topics as diagnosis, managing medications, proper meal planning, exercise, prevention and treatment of complications, stress management, living well, and engaging support people and a health care team. The class is taught by Mason General Hospital employees.
Family members and loved ones are also invited to attend the class to gain knowledge and offer their support.
