Read what participants are saying about ABC Diabetes
I am now more confident that diabetes is treatable and controllable...The more you can be informed about self-management, the better the control of diabetes.

[My instructor] took the time with each of us, directed her attention to everyone in the room, and made sure that she got a hold on what our individual concerns were... This class taught me things that no one in 20 years ever mentioned!

I came into this class depressed. I'm leaving strong and happy.

In September 1997, I was diagnosed as being diabetic. Not having a profound insight into the dangers of the disease, this diagnosis had a devastating effect on my state of mind. During my hospital layover, my thoughts were that my life had come to a standstill. How do I overcome this dangerous disease? Doctors and nurses came with lots of information about maintenance. But something was still missing—the personal touch. I found that personal touch in the self-management program, "Achieving Better Control." This six-week program gave me the insight I needed; to not just learn to live with diabetes, but to overcome and control it.

I have lived with my Diabetes for most of my life and thought I knew most of what was known about Diabetes. I got a tremendous surprise when I went through your program. Much of what I had known previously had changed. The information I gathered during the classes is helping me initiate changes to my life that are having positive impact on my Diabetes, not to mention my weight and appearance.

The info and demonstrations gave me the where-with-all to take charge. With the blood glucose testing device I have been able to use exercise, diet and stress management to keep readings near normal most of the time.
