The session aims to educate attendees on diabetes fundamentals such as important facts, risk factors, and both medical and lifestyle management strategies. The goal is to equip individuals with practical knowledge to promote healthier living.

Beyond the initial session, the series will continue with topics related to diabetes education:

- Nutrition for Diabetes, on May 1

“These sessions are a great opportunity for anyone managing diabetes or looking to prevent it,” commented Johnson. “Education is a key component in promoting long-term health and wellness.”

The hospital advises potential attendees to reserve their spots due to limited space by calling 618-443-1435.
