Our education programs provide a variety of educational opportunities about diabetes to various segments of the community.

Our group education classes help people manage their diabetes. ADA course approved, the group session runs for four weeks. Each session lasts for two hours from 10 a.m. until noon. The series includes basic information on nutrition, exercise, medications, blood sugar monitoring, preventing complication, psychological adjustment to diabetes and how to change behavior.

We bring the latest on diabetes and endocrine research and treatment to the local community at our free monthly library lecture series.

We also offer continuing medical education for health professionals. This program includes the weekly “Diabetes Seminars,” recognized by area health professionals as an invaluable resource.

And the SDC sponsors a support group for patients of all ages who are on insulin pumps. Our Insulin Support Group is open to patients of all ages with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, who are on insulin pumps or are interested in learning more about pumps. Family members, spouses, and significant others are welcome.
