Diabetes is a serious
problem when left untreated. It:
- is the sixth leading cause of death by disease in this country
- causes 12,000 to 24,000 people to lose their sight each year
- accounts for 56,000 leg and foot amputations each year
- is the leading cause of kidney failure
- increases the chance of having heart disease or suffering a stroke
by two to four times.
Classes are offered during the day, evening and on Saturdays.
"The American Diabetes Association recognizes this education
service as meeting the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management
Education."
