Participants are asked to register by Tuesday, May 31,  by calling (785) 623-5503 or (785) 623-2377.
Diabetes educators and registered dieticians will present general information on diabetes, meter use, medications, treating hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, foot care, meal planning and carb counting.
