Evening Diabetes Education Classes During May at Spectrum Health

Spectrum Health Reed City Hospital is offering a series of classes during the month of May for comprehensive diabetes self-management education. The classes will be taught by Lori King, RN. 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. There will be 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 May class is April 30, 2009. Call (231) 832-8502 to register for this three-session program held May 13, 20 and 27, 2009. All classes run from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the cafeteria conference rooms. There is no cost to attend.

If you are unable to attend the May classes, please consider our June classes which will be held on June 3, 10 and 17 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
