Group classes may last three hours, however, we do take a break in the middle. We suggest a meal or snack before coming to class to prevent a long delay in eating.

Topics covered in the diabetes self-care education series include:

  • Diabetes diagnosis and progression;
  • Meal planning and carbohydrate counting;
  • Understanding your blood sugar numbers;
  • Preventing complications;
  • Stress management;
  • Goal setting.

Classes are available for:

  • Gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy);
