The Washington County Hospitals and Clinics is having a pre-diabetes education class on Monday, the 23rd. This class is free for all pre-diabetic patients. KCII spoke with diabetes nurse educator Amy Martin about the program, “This class, the dietician is going to do part of it, and I am going to do part of it. We’re trying to educate some people about some changes that they can make to their lifestyle to help improve their blood sugars.” The program focuses on education and support for pre-diabetic patients through gaining insights to take charge of their diabetes and to live a balanced life. The class will be held from 12-1 PM at 400 East Polk St. in the South Lobby Entrance, entrance eight. Participants are welcome to bring lunch. You must pre-register for this class by calling 319-863-3936. WCHC also offers quarterly diabetes classes and a free monthly support group for patients with diabetes.
