Diabetes Support Group meets Thursday, July 16

The Veterans Memorial Hospital (VMH) Diabetes Support Group will hold its next meeting Thursday, July 16, at 10 a.m. The meeting will be held at Veterans Memorial Hospital in the Large Conference Room, located on the lower level of the hospital.

This month’s topic will focus on getting back to the basics with straightforward diabetes information and reviewing carbohydrates and carb counting. “This is one of the most important foundations of blood sugar control because we all eat,” explains Angie Mettille, Diabetes Educator and facilitator of the these Diabetes Support Group meetings. “If we do a good job with monitoring our carb intake most of the time, blood sugars will benefit.”

This diabetes class is open to everyone who has diabetes or has a friend or loved one with diabetes.  For more information on the Diabetes Support Group, call Angie Mettille, RN, Diabetes Educator, at VMH at 563-568-3411.
