Source: American Institute for Cancer Research New, free classes for diabetes support When you discover you have diabetes, you may have no idea what questions you should ask or whom you can turn to. Columbus Community Hospital offers several resources and support options for people with diabetes. Recently, the hospital started a new class for the community. Diabetes Tidbits is a free session that meets noon-1 p.m. every Thursday at the hospital. Diabetes educators lead the classes and provide expert advice about managing your health. “It can be very overwhelming when you are diagnosed with diabetes,” said Joan Plummer, diabetes educator at the hospital. “It’s a lot to try to change at once, so we encourage people to change their lifestyle gradually.” This class provides an opportunity for people with diabetes to get together and discuss what they can do to manage their disease. Each session begins with a predetermined topic. Once the diabetes educator finishes discussing that topic, she allows time for additional questions. “We want to provide ongoing support and encouragement for their day-to-day lives,” said Plummer. You do not need to enroll in the classes and may attend as many sessions as you would like. Family and friends are welcome to join as well.
