During this 5-week session, you will learn about such topics as nutrition, medication, 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!

This is an accredited 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, who are all certified diabetes educators, committed to empowering you with the knowledge you need to succeed!
