Learn to Control Diabetes with Free Seminars at Methodist Hospital

To help the growing number of people with diabetes, Methodist Hospital is offering free classes with information and advice.

“Each session is geared to the needs of those in attendance,” says certified diabetes educator Barbara Drake, RN, MSN. Instructors will discuss topics such as glucose monitoring, exercise and meal planning. “There’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions,” says Drake, who instructs the classes along with a Methodist Hospital dietitian.

“Many diabetics who have attended these seminars feel encouraged to make necessary lifestyle changes after meeting others with the disease,” says Drake.

The classes are held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in Conference Room 2 on the lower level of Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia. Methodist Hospital is a division of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. For more information, call 215-952-9506.
