Diabetes Support Group Meeting at Veterans Memorial Hospital

The Veterans Memorial Hospital (VMH) Diabetes Support Group will hold its next meeting Thursday, January 18 at 10 a.m. The meeting will be held in the VMH Large Conference Room on the hospital’s lower level.

This month, Brandy Strub, Veterans Memorial Hospital registered dietitian, will join facilitator Angie Mettille in presenting the topic of food and discussing the foods that are advertised as healthy, but in fact are not. They will explain the types of foods that should be avoided and what some better alternatives would be.

This diabetes class is open to everyone who has diabetes or has a friend or loved one with diabetes. In case of inclement weather, the group will cancel if Allamakee Community Schools are closed or starting late. Attendees are encouraged to stay home if they feel sidewalks or roads are too slippery to go out and stay safe.
