If you have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or if you have had it for a while but have trouble understanding what to eat or how to keep up with your readings, we have a program designed to help.

Do Well, Be Well with diabetes is a nine lesson program that discusses what diabetes is and how to manage it. Each class is taught by a dietitian, nutritionist, nurse or physician with knowledge specific to diabetics.
