Being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes can be frightening. Bobby, who completed the Diabetes Education program said, “Through this program I was able to better understand my diabetes and things I could do to take charge of my situation. I learned about different kinds of carbs and the effects they have on my body. I had someone who could teach me what to do if my sugar was low or if it was high. I use the information I learned through this program every day.”
