Who leads the classes?
Classes are run by two trained leaders. This is a self-management course and does not take the place of a doctor's visit or direct support from other health care professionals such as diabetes educators and dietitians. You should still see your primary care physician and/or endocrinologist, even if you are successfully self-managing your condition between visits.
