Carson Tahoe Invites Community to Free Diabetes Awareness Month Classes in November
CARSON CITY — In commemorating Diabetes Awareness Month, Carson Tahoe Health will be hosting a series of complementary diabetes self-management classes throughout the month of November.
Designed to further educate and support those living with diabetes, each session will be led by healthcare experts and feature the latest insights on trending topics such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, meal planning tips, and more.
“Studies show the prevalence of both prediabetes and type 2 diabetes continue to be a rising trend in our community and nationwide,” said Mina Fiddyment, Manager of the Carson Tahoe Health & Wellness Institute. “By providing educational classes every November, in addition to our ongoing ‘Small Steps Big Rewards’ Diabetes Prevention Program, monthly support groups, preventative resources, and personalized treatment plans, our goal is to empower people to take charge of their diabetes and live a happy, healthy life.
Whether you’re practicing self-management, or simply looking to learn about prevention, we’re here for you every step of the way.”
