We have qualified diabetes educators and care coordinators to provide diabetes self-management education through individual and/or group education classes. During education classes, they focus on the skills necessary to manage diabetes at their own homes. We are also available to work with individuals, villages, schools or other community agencies to plan, help implement or improve physical activity or equipment available within the villages.
