exercise, blood sugar monitoring, blood glucose goals, managing
illness, coping strategies, the latest research and much more!
You will meet and gain the support from others who share the
diagnosis of diabetes. You will learn that you are not alone
and leave with strategies for success!

program, recognized by both the American Diabetes Association
and RI Department of Health.
The faculty is comprised
of a dynamic team of nurses, pharmacists and registered dietitians,
