    Sutter Delta offers such a Great Community Class to those who suffer from Diabetes - More People Need to Check it out!

     

    I highly recommend the Diabetes Education class to all people.  I found the class to be very informational and valuable.  You do not need to be diabetic to attend the four-session class, everyone is welcome, and it’s free!  I learned that maintaining an ideal body weight and an active lifestyle may prevent type 2 diabetes.

     

     Having diabetes can be a challenge for many people.  I learned that getting educated on diabetes can give many people that are diabetics the opportunity to change their lifestyle and know that they can live a very healthy and productive life if they manage their diabetes.  High blood sugar that is not managed can lead to serious health problems with your teeth and gums, feet, kidneys, eyes, skin, and nerves.  By following your own diabetes plan, and keeping your blood sugar as normal as possible will help you prevent many serious health problems.

     

    I learned that people with diabetes should have regular doctor visits and work closely with their health care provider to learn how much fat, protein, and carbohydrates they need in their diet.  Regular exercise is especially important for people with diabetes because it helps with weight loss, blood sugar control, and high blood pressure. 

     

    This class made me aware of how important it is for people with diabetes to take care of their eyes to prevent blindness, to protect their kidneys by drinking plenty of water, to keep their teeth and gums healthy to prevent tooth decay and gum infections, to care for their skin by applying lotion or cream to prevent dry skin, and to care of their feet to prevent sores and cuts that can become infected without them feeling it.  People with diabetes can have a long, rich and fulfilling life, if they take a little time to keep track of their condition, and have a good family support system.
