Diabetes class available at Being diagnosed with diabetes can come as a complete surprise to people whose symptoms go un- noticed - often not show- ing up for years. However, patients and their families can take heart that once diabetes is discovered, ed- ucation and help is avail- able to manage the condi- tion so that someone with diabetes can lead a normal, active life. Studies show that self-management and a support team of diabetes experts can greatly reduce the severity of complica- tions caused by diabetes. If diabetes is a part of your life, plan to attend Mason General Hospital's next three-evening ses- sion entitled, "Living Well With Diabetes." The class takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20 through Thursday, Sept. 22, at the Hospital in the Ellinor Room on the first two nights and from 6 to 8 p.m. on the third night. It will cover proper meal planning, diabetes medi- cations, exercise, preven- tion and treatment of com- plications, stress manage- ment, living with diabetes, and the use of support peo- ple and a healthcare team. Mason General Hospital & Family of Clinics has a team of healthcare provid- ers that teach the class, and studies show that ef- fective self-management of diabetes is beneficial for the patient and their fam- ily. Due to space limitations, advanced registration is required. To register, call Sue Barwick, R.N., certi- fied diabetes educator at 426-1611, ext. 3301 (Allyn 275-8614, ext. 3301). Diabetes education is a covered service under most insurance plans. .Gameboy Advance D We take Z CREDIT CARDS ~'l Sheit°i~T C°unty hi 7 Annual Shelton Valley Christian "Show n' Shine" Car & Bike Show ust 21 from 9am - 3pro Tom's Famous Burgers, Trophies, Raffle, Kids' Jump House and more..• 210 W.
