Join us for dynamic, interactive educational programs The Unity Diabetes Center offers a variety of programs for patients. Please call 585-368-4560 for information on our upcoming classes and events. Some of these programs include:
Managing Diabetes
You need to know all you can about diabetes, so that you can better control your blood sugar and take charge of your health. Unity’s Managing Diabetes classes help you understand all aspects of diabetes care, from your diet to monitoring blood sugar to preventing complications.
Managing Diabetes consists of four weekly sessions offered at a variety of times to meet your needs. (You must attend all four classes to complete the course—and make-ups are available.) You are welcome to bring your spouse or partner, but please keep attendees to immediate family members due to limited space.
Diabetes Exercise Program
For patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, this special program is offered at convenient times throughout the week. These classes provide professional exercise guidance, blood glucose monitoring, and educational information. Our classes are designed to help you achieve optimal blood glucose control, reduce body fat, improve your quality of life, and to minimize further diabetic complications.
