Third Cohort of Diabetes Education Patients Graduate

We are proud to announce that our third cohort of 19 patients enrolled in our Diabetes education initiative, Turning the Curve for Patients Living with Prediabetes and Other Metabolic Illnesses, graduated last month! Here they are posing for a group photo at Culmore Clinic with their certificates in hand. These certificates come with a lot of hard work from the patients including a seven-session program with curriculum that covers an introduction to Diabetes, two nutrition sessions, exercise/physical activity classes, tools for disease management and mental health, medication management and safety, as well as putting all of this information to use with healthy choices at home!

The students published a receipt book with their favorite recipes adapted for a healthy diet. A photo of the cover is below.
