<P class=MsoNormal><B>Diabetes Education Classes and Dining </B><O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>Club Offered to County Residents</B><O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B></B><O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>County residents who want to learn how to manage their
diabetes are invited to attend free monthly diabetes education classes at
various locations throughout the County beginning in early March.
<O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Residents are also invited to join the Diabetes Dining Club
at locations in Gaithersburg and Rockville for monthly dinners that combine a
healthy meal, physical activity and a chance to socialize while learning about
diabetes management. A new African immigrant diabetes dining club in
Silver Spring is also beginning to meet the needs of African immigrants who now
make up nearly one third of the diabetes education class population.<O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Diabetes Education Program and the Diabetes Dining club
are designed to reduce the rate of diabetes and diabetes complications in the
African American community. African Americans comprise 17 percent of the
County’s population but represent 42 percent of the hospitalizations related to
diabetes.<O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Diabetes does not kill but high blood sugar does. Class
participants often come with limited knowledge about managing blood sugar and
the lack of knowledge can have dangerous consequences.<O></O></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
The classes are accredited by the American Association of Diabetes Educators and
meet three hours per week for four weeks. Classes are designed for those
with diabetes, pre diabetes and those trying to prevent it. Past
participants have shown increased confidence in managing blood sugar, increased
blood sugar testing, increased days of physical activity; increased consumption
of fruits and vegetables and reduced weight and average blood sugar
levels.<O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The programs are sponsored by the Department of Health and
Human Services’ African American Health Program <O></O></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>To register for any of the programs, go to <A
href="http://www.onehealthylife.org/">www.onehealthylife.org</A> or call Diane
Herron at 301-421-5767.<O></O></P>
