Diabetes Self Management Program

The Diabetes Self Management Program at FMC will teach participants about living with or caring for someone with diabetes. This 3-step program consists of meeting with a dietitian, meeting with FMC’s diabetes educator and attending a series of four classes about medications, insulin, carbohydrate counting, exercise and more. The American Diabetes Association recognizes this program. For more information, please call the diabetes educator at (740) 687-8492.

We also offer a free diabetic support group. The group meets the last Monday of each month from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Assembly Room 1. The meeting consists of a 15-minute presentation, followed by open discussion. There is no need to register for the class, but you may call (740) 687-8492 for more information.
