Diabetes education will help you navigate the best way to care for yourself, so you are off to a good start in looking for classes. A nationally recognized program will help you learn fact from myth and understand what will work best for you.

You can find local diabetes education classes and support groups by contacting your local hospital, calling the American Diabetes Association 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2382) and asking them to help you locate a program in your area, or by calling the American Association of Diabetes Educators 1-800-TEAM-UP4 (1-800-832-6874) to find a diabetes educator or program in your area.
