Knowing how to manage diabetes or to prevent the progression of prediabetes to diabetes, individuals need information and guidance on steps to take to manage their health. With this in mind, in 2022, GPD began offering information/education at a low cost to the public. $20 for family and friends. In 2024, we offered 8 sessions across the city with more planned for 2025.
The content is similar to what is taught in our HOPE program in the office: Healthy eating, Being Active, Healthy Coping, Taking Medication, Monitoring, Reducing Risks, and Problem Solving.
