Diabetes Education Classes at Spectrum Health Registering Now for October Classes

Spectrum Health Reed City Hospital is offering a series of classes during the month of October for comprehensive diabetes self-management education by Lori King, RN and Kim Lombard, RD. If you or someone you know has diabetes, it is very important to have information to properly manage the disease.  Diabetes support and education programs at Spectrum Health Reed City Hospital provide the latest information and give a practical approach that puts you in charge of your health.

Our Diabetes Self-Management Education Program will consist of three group classes over a three-week period with sessions on treatment options, nutrition, glucose monitoring, exercise and medications, and psychosocial adjustment. Pre-registration is required and the cut-off date for acceptance into the October class is October 12th, 2009. Call 231-832-8502 to register for this three-session program running October 14, 21 and 28.  All classes are from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the cafeteria conference rooms. There is no cost to attend. If you are unable to attend the October sessions, please consider joining us for the November sessions which will be held on November 4, 11 and 18.
